Isn't it fun to stereotype! Problem is, it's dead wrong, like most stereotypes. One doesn't have to be a Socialist to be disgusted with Ann Coulter's Gonzo non-journalism and to feel a little bit of empathy and compassion for our fellow human beings!

As it is, I'm a registered Libertarian. I'm supporting Republican Ron Paul for Prez. As a student, I worked for Barry Goldwater (although I was too young to vote....you had to be 21 back then!). Voted for Ronald Reagan, although my feelings are mixed on his Presidency. But my feelings are anything but mixed on the Bush Family and all the other neocons who have totally betrayed Goldwater/Buckley/Milton Friedman libertarianism!

As for "the underpaid workers of the world," I think the airlines should take over the responsibility for helping their passengers onto their planes. Pay them a living wage and don't allow them to accept tips, the same as with FAs, GAs, and TAs. Stop expecting your pax to subsidize their wages. The cost of assistance should be included in the ticket price.
