When did "Elite" get redefined to mean "Bad"?
I worked long and hard not be at the mercy of others.

The "elites" do what's best for them just as any one here would do for themselves. They're human too after all. None of us are immune to greed.
Might i just say, the 'Elites' human? I disagree on this, anyone who would willfully destroy it's own and other countries cultures, kill and maim the Innocent using drones/bombs/nuclear weapons/under the guise of protecting people, are not fit to run any Country, let alone Control warfare and create dangerous policies without a hint of care for what it's Own People who flip the bill for their golf outings, lavish elite parties and million dollar Vacations/Houses/Cars/Bodyguards etc etc etc. These people are running the world, stealing peoples money and laughing in your face 24/7.
The problem here is They were Voted in to do something Positive for the People of the USA, they shouldn't be behaving 'for themselves', and for 'their' benefit. A President is supposed to Rise Above and be the Example for it's Nation. Being Human is one thing, being an asshole is quite another.
I'd say that's a problem.

I wanted to pick up that one point, too.
I'd venture to suggest that anyone doing 'what is best for themselves' doesn't necessarily think it a good idea to subjugate millions of other people and get rich off the sweat of their brows.
Some of us don't want or need a lot more than the benefits of living in a fair society, which we contribute to, and a bit of peace and quiet in our free time to pursue our (not world domination) dreams.
Makes one wonder who are the 'sane ones' and who the 'mindlessly angry'.

Personally, I regard the "elite" with pity - poor deluded fools obsessed with money and material possession above all else. And never ever happy because someone always has more than they do .....

Personally I regard "Elite" as someone who has worked hard to be amoung the best at their craft, skill, vocation, or chosen field.

You missed my meaning, of course they're humans, or according to David Icke, perhaps Reptillians. My point being, they aren't acting very Human. Actions speak Louder than Words.

It's Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses
Why rise up, aren't the elite already ruling the ignorant masses?
