(19,858 posts)working people as beneath them. I was installing a small simple telephone system in an office area. I was all through with it and all the people working there were using it fine. The head of the operation came in and wanted to know what the button "HOLD" meant. I explained it to her and she was not satisfied. I tried again. She was not satisfied. I was at wits end. She tied into me saying that she had a masters in this and a phd in that and another masters in this and that she understood that I did not have the intellectual ability to explain simple things. She then wanted to know if she could get a manual for it written by someone with at least a grade school education. I had given her the manual for it. She was not satisfied by that. I never got upset but I apologized to her for not being very smart as my IQ was only 150 and only made 1500 on my SAT. I then left.
I had trained a kid that went to work for the computer place I worked. He working after school and was doing pretty good. He then went to college and came back during the summer. In his junior year he started with the "I don't expect you to understand this", and explain something that I taught him years earlier. He never got over that I might know something he didn't, because he now had a university education.
I lot of the educated liberals really look down on the working people. Clinton did, Gore did to certain extent. Hillary sure does. After all we are not their kind of people.
