re: #87 Gus

Well, if you want me to be serious:

Krauthammer like nearly all humans wants to think more highly of themselves and their place on the social status structure, and the best way to do this is through what we call “wealth” and its visible elements, such as expensive jewelry, clothes, etc.

Krauthammer gets paid well to write and show up on TV (such as Fox), and he knows that those who butter his bread expects him to deliver. Having an competence in the English language above the average American, he can use that tool to present himself as someone who can deliver to the butter-owners what they desire - the continued delusion of the masses that the butter-owners deserve to control the butter because, well, that’s the way God created it.
