“American Dream”: Food loaded into Dumpsters while Hundreds of Hungry Americans Restrained by Police

[IrishAyes]

62. Just one example

.... of plutocrat thinking. When I was married, my ex went to work for one of the most powerful forces of conservatism. You might guess we divorced soon after. But meanwhile, this woman proudly gave me a large amount of premium honey even though I kept insisting it was far more than my family could use in a lifetime.

So I turned around and gave most of it to the farmhands who'd cared for the bees who made the honey. When Ms. RichBich found out, she screamed at me in a purple rage. "Why did you do that? Those people don't even know what to do with it!"

I looked at her with my awful faux-confusion and mumbled, "Well.... I figured they'd just eat it, same as I did with my part."

It was her husband, a state senator, who told me in public later that the only good Democrat was a dead one. Though I do have to admit I'd chained myself to his booth at the state fair.
