Something I have noticed over these many years here in the Backwoods is that many folks look at a wealthy person and see someone who gets to live in a huge house, drive great cars, are always jetting off on vacations, never have to worry about paying bills.
And they want to have all that without having to work for it because none of the wealthy people appear to be working either.
So they see someone like Mitch McConnell whose personal wealth increases $4million every year (but never ask how that is possible) and Trump and believe them when they say “your life will be so much better if we’re in charge”.
In the meantime, they just keep bitching and griping about people on welfare while, at the same time, they buy lottery tickets, complain about their jobs (if they have them) and dream of the day they can qualify for disability payments.

I would tell them to read the novel Babbitt but the irony would be lost on them.
