Paprclphd,
Well Bush was much better than the person before him, Ann Richards, who mistakenly thought she was governor of Lousiana and as such presided over one of the most crooked administrations ever seen.
I agree with you on the madicrae bit. I bust my ass at my job making minimum wage and still have to beg for money form my parents who I am still dependant on despite having just graduated form college. It breaks my heart to see at least 20 bucks form each paycheck go to somebody who doesn't have the drive to get off thier ass and actually work for a living. No, I amnot talking about wlefare mothers, but I am talking about fat cat CEO's who never worked a day in his life.
Take a look at who sits on the board of many major corporations. Most of them are board members of more than one corporation and even sit on the board with companies that are supposed to be in competition with each other. A few corporate leaders are elected officials or top people in government. Well if you can serve on the board for more than one corporation, then that proves board members don't do any real work.
And typically the people who sit at the helm of these larger companies were born into a position of power and prestiege.
I say we should start calling the president King George II (since he wasn't elected, but appoited), call the Supreme Court a Council of Elders, refer to the President's family as Dukes, Duchesses, Prinnes and Preincesses, refer to Senators as Lords and Ladys, and to Captains of industry as Barons and Baronesses.
Come on a titles of nobility are sorely needed in this country!
