Well, you said you didn't like wealthy people... or is it only certain wealthy people? moriah May 2014 #68

So you relate to rich people. Good for you. L0oniX May 2014 #70

I relate to intelligent people. I was on free lunches, myself. moriah May 2014 #76

this is a Democratic Board and you are surprised there are things posted about a Former Dem Pres ? JI7 May 2014 #47

What is surprising is the ignorance of what rich people are doing to our country. L0oniX May 2014 #48

so why don't you discuss those things ? instead you are in a thread like this which could easily JI7 May 2014 #50

If she was going to pursue politics, she'd have gotten a law degree. She didn't. Gah. moriah May 2014 #28

I don't know - she could have majored in Public Policy which would suit her well in politics. AAO May 2014 #107

My daughter majored in Public Policy when she was in school in the States DFW May 2014 #109
