In prior days our so-called betters were meant to have a responsibility to the peasants. That was their lot as it was the lot of the peasants to toil for them.

The peasants still do, the ones that haven't yet been devoured by the cultural excesses and social decay brought by these "elites," and the elites would prefer they crawl into a corner and die.

Go to a place where the local elite gather and even there you'll hear them say things about these people that the most avowed klansman wouldn't say about blacks or Jews in a thousand years.
