Does America even have a ruling class? Well it is pretty hard to get them to admit it, but the answer is a resounding YES.
Who are these people? If you saw them on the street, (they will never be found there), You couldn't tell them from most other well off people. One could name most of them by looking up Multimillionairs and billionaires, but actually, even presidents, elected officials and other governmental employees are sometimes members of the ruling class. Their lifestyle is so far beyond what the average citizen lives, it is criminal. Here is a short list of ruling class presidents:
George Washington (descendant of Edward III of England)
· Thomas Jefferson (descendant of Edward III of England)
· James Madison (descendant of Edward I of England)
· John Quincy Adams (descendant of Edward III of England)
· William Henry Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison (descendants of Edward I of England)
· Zachary Taylor (descendant of Edward I of England)
· Franklin Pierce (descendant of Henry I of England)
· Rutherford Hayes (descendant of David I of Scotland)
· Grover Cleveland (descendant of Edward I of England)
· Theodore Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
· William Taft (descendant of Edward I of England)
· Warren Harding (descendant of Ethelred II of England)
· Calvin Coolidge (descendant of Henry II of England)
· Herbert Hoover (descendant of John of England)
· Franklin Roosevelt (descendant of Edward III of England)
· Gerald Ford (descendant of Edward I of England)
· George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush (descendants of Edward I of England and Afonso I of Portugal)

Not only are the ruling class related to royalty, but are related to each other.
As you can see, our founding fathers, that the right praises so much, were really decendants of european royality and really had no connection to the common man. The ruling class founded America to fit their vision, not what would be good for everyone. The bill of rights tried to fix that, but the ruling class still prevailed.
Yes Matilda, there are a few, Maybe a few hundred thousand, people that actually control America, and you or I can not do one goddamn thing about it, voting, yeah right. That vehicle is rigged from the gates. So carry on, knowing that you live in an oligarchic plutochracy, and there ain't nothing you can do to change it.

LOL Rick is the perfect little elitist zombie. He's against gay marriage, hates poor people, and thinks the ACTUAL elitists give a crap about what happens to him! And they say liberals are "indoctrinated"?! Irony at its absolute finest. It would be even funnier if people like him weren't the ones keeping us from getting anything DONE.

Barack Obama's Royal Roots

Barack Obama has connections in high places – like the British Royal Family.

So says British genealogist Robert Barrett, who traced the Democratic presidential hopeful's roots.

"Obama's mother, Ann, brought to his gene pool a descent from the 17th-century plantation owner Mareen Duvall," he told Britain's Sunday Telegraph. "She is an ancestor of the Duchess of Windsor."

Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, is the only American to have married into the British royal family – Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936 to become her spouse. She died in April 1986.

But that's not all, according to the genealogist.

"[Obama] has a rich mixture of European ancestors, including the early medieval kings of England and Scotland, a signatory of the Magna Carta, and, for good measure, an Irish emigrant from County Offaly," he explained.



Oh I'm sorry did you think Obama was black?

Real elites are in banking cartels.
They run the show.
No they don't give a shit about you.
But you damn well better play ball.
or at least not get to upitty about it.

I'd rather have a real black man in Office instead of this elitist leftist revolutionary with no experience, but the media would never help a regular black dude.

Democrats represent the richest districts. Blue states are richer than red states. A sizable number of Democrats are extremely wealthy. The Democratic party is the party of elites. Anyone who does not understand that has not been paying attention.

The poor and downtrodden continue to gravitate to the Democrats which means they must continue talking a good game. But this disparity in the party will not hold indefinitely.
