20. I don't believe they do it consciously
at least not all of them. Some undoubtedly do talk about it right out but for the most part I think it's subtle. They raise their children with little racist remarks and subtle hints that they are just better than your average Joe and they should be entitled to run everything. They have a sort of built-in attitude that they worked for and deserve everything they have and the rest of us have just been doing something wrong or are too stupid or have "bad breeding" or whatever. They also don't think we suffer much because we're used to not having much. So it's ok that they have everything and so many have nothing. Evidence of this attitude is in the Barbara Bush statement at the AstroDome.

I believe this because I've been around them and I've seen it.
