How They View Us

Sometimes one or another of our rulers slip up and say something that shows how they really view us. Here is an excerpt from a New York Times report on comments that President Obama made yesterday (Tuesday, February 3):

"I've got to own up to my mistake, which is that ultimately it's important for this administration to send a message that there aren't two sets of rules. You know, one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks who have to pay their taxes."

Two Questions -

1. By "ordinary folks" does he mean, as his statement indicates, those of us ". . . who have to pay their taxes"?

2. How does one get to become one of the "prominent people" exempt from having to do so?


Note: See the "Queen of Mean" post below -- Leona had it right.
