Just When I Managed to Stop Laughing… on Feed 44

Most of the top 1% today are senior corporate management, high-paid attorneys and other professionals, reflecting the growing managerialization of American society and the incorporation of a white collar New Class into the old plutocratic elite. And the effect of this class on the society it oversees is almost uniformly pernicious — as evidenced by the career of Clinton herself, whether as a tool of Walmart and Monsanto in her Rose Law Firm days or as an advocate for police state surveillance and drone killings in the State Department.

And to accept as a “class warrior” someone who pals around with a Morgan Stanley Vice President and assures Wall Street bankers in private speeches that they’re just misunderstood, is a bit beyond anyone’s capacity for suspension of disbelief outside the #UniteBlue Kool-Aid cult.
