The nation's elite: we prefer the Great Chain of Being

  The Daily Beast has an article entitled, "Obama loses support of nation's elite," which reports on the Aspen festival and offers some commentary on Mort Zuckerman's and Niall Gardiner's views of this nation's decline, economy and solutions.
Ferguson was joined in his harsh attack by billionaire real estate mogul and New York Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman. Both lambasted Obama’s trillion-dollar deficit spending program—in the name of economic stimulus to cushion the impact of the 2008 financial meltdown—as fiscally ruinous, potentially turning America into a second-rate power.
  Not to be too cynical, but while it's heartening that people, including James Brolin and Barbra Streisand, seem to be waking from their drunken slumberous infatuation with Barack Hussein Obamam this doesn't necessarily mean they won't support him, next election. Liberal loyalty runs deep, regardless the consequences.
  Speaking of Hollywood, Redwhitebluenews is running the net worth figures for the Hollywood elite. Her research started with watching Susan Sarandon complaining about the "wealthy" and Sarandon's comment that Gov. Walker is an "idiot." Apparently Sarandon herself is anointed to identify with those of us who work mundane union jobs, which is why she was at a rally in Wisconsin. From Redwhitebluenews:
We’ve all heard from the big ol’ liberal movie stars and celebrities; we all know how they feel about America (hint:  not so great).  So following are quotes from some of the BIGGEST liberals with the BIGGEST mouths and, just for kicks, I’m going to throw in their NET WORTH.  Some talk about the evils of capitalism, while others talk about the evils of using too much toilet paper.
Hypocrites?  Yep, that’s exactly what they are.
Susan Sarandon:  :  “It’s a great opportunity this idiot Walker has given us…to remember our strength, and remember that we are the many and they are the few.  And even though they have the wealth, we have something that is as important if not more important.”
Net Worth, $50 million
  Unlike Sarandon, we have nothing against people who have money. Indeed, we'd like to have more of it. But to present themselves, out of some psychosis or guilt, as speakers for the working class is fraud. They are the wealthy and they should just admit to the world that they would be lost without their bidets, ten dollar coffees and $7,000 curtain ties.
  The truth is that what they have in common with the "working class" as defined by the unions is a love for socialism/communism.
  And everyone knows under those systems, the only equality is back to the Great Chain of Being, when 95% of the population was downtrodden and subjugate to the upper 5%, who saw themselves as nobility, better than everyone else, and therefore justified scramming the country any time a plague hit, leaving the working man and woman to fend for the
  If the elite really cared about the working man and woman, the elite-Congress, the president, Hollywood, the rich (but I repeat myself)- would work to keep taxes low, pump up industry and pay off the enormous debt they have accumulated for today's children.
  Try suffering, Harry Reid. Just try suffering by being one of us.
