I think you're right. Many elitists are always happy to crap on workers because they have a "I got mine, screw you" mentality. Nor are their bulbs bright enough to realize that they drive down their own wages eventually when they support driving down others.

Some of us, however, haven't forgotten what it is like to have to scrap for a living, no matter how well off we are now.
