Hamptons Elite Worried About Strivers
28th May 2013
There was an article in the NY Times on Saturday about how the Hamptons elite are worried about middle-class strivers, who are young people who go to the Hamptons because of the glamour of the whole place even though they can’t really afford it; they tend to stay in illegal “share houses” and they get drunk on the beach.
For ‘Hamptons Elite’ feel free to substitute every ‘rich’ person whose smiling face has accompanied an article in the Axis of Drivel about how his/her taxes are too low. It’s not that their taxes are too low; it’s that everybody’s taxes are too low; it isn’t weeding out the almost-theres. So they want all tax rates to go up, something that they will survive but which will act to cull the herd.
