What the Rich Always Say

4. Outstanding essay!

She tried to make this a women's issue by saying "I want everyone to have what my daughter has". This would amount to everyone having her connections, her rolodex, and all the incremental advantages that wealth can buy.

*Rolodex may seem like an old-fashioned term, but I use it deliberately. When Chelsea got a 100k job at a consulting firm fresh out of grad school, she admitted it was because of her "rolodex".

In order to access a ladder you have to be in a particular *place*.

This is why I cannot in good conscience vote for Hillary, as badly as I want to vote for the first woman President in my lifetime: she is oblivious to the need that someone has to do something for the people who don't have these ladders available to them. Her welfare policy is EMPTY. People say don't compare Hillary to Bill, but she is just carrying over his Welfare Reform -- she hasn't shown that she has any ideas of her own in that area yet.

One suspects that Hillary SECRETLY thinks that the Successful will just get to walk over the dead bodies of the poor losers because that's the way of the world. And what all the people who are waving their arms about separating The Social now don't seem to get is the people who will be stepped on WILL be people of color - because economic injustice is one of the chief tools of racism.
