Huh?

Just heard from a family member that another relative (who shall remain unnamed) HATES George W. Bush, and one of the things she has against him is that the Bushes are “rich.”

Wha-wha-whaaaaaat?

Need we even mention the gigolo who’s running against Bush? The one whose tax rate was certainly less than mine, at a tiny fraction of the income, and probably less even than my relative, whose own present income level is not even a spit in the ocean compared to the gigolo’s?

Not only that… this relative is aggressively pursuing wealth herself, aspiring to a lifestyle to which she would like to become accustomed, and knowing that the only way to achieve that is to make lots and lots of money.

Can you say “cognitive dissonance?”

This, folks, is what we are up against.

I think I need more coffee.
