    I'm an independent investor. I make my living from the returns on my investments. I work at home, in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area. I spent most of my career as an executive in high-tech, although I also spent time in banking. Down to one kid in university now!

You’re So Vain

April 27th, 2007 by reality

Newsday reports that four of the Democrat presidential hopefuls took individual private jets to their first debate. All travelled from Washington DC. They could have shared one or two planes, or, heaven forfend, flown on a commercial airliner. Of course that would require breathing the same air as the peasantry and we couldn’t do that, could we?

These aristocrats are the same people that want us out of our cars.

These aristocrats are the same people that want to slap a “carbon tax” on us.

These aristocrats are the same people that when they do deign to take a car, they instead take big SUVs or limos, while demanding that the peasants carpool or be fuel efficient.

These aristocrats are too special to share an airplane. They are too special for commercial jets. Only the peasantry ever flies coach. Folks, if Bill Gates could fly coach for most of his career, so can you.
