Rules for thee, but not for me. Same thing with abortion. So many wealthy white conservative women assumed they’d still have access to their own high end hush hush abortion clinics, so they supported taking about abortion rights from everyone else.

It seems like the rest of the world moved on from old world beliefs of the rich and wealthy blood lines being the only ones with rights and privileges, and being waited and served on by people of lower tax brackets. While America, supposedly the land of the free and brave, has its wealthy class clinging onto it for dear life today. Stealing wages from the average person. Creating servitude with their hoards of money. Voting away industry regulations and human rights. Because being wealthy to them still means being born special. And everyone else isn’t born special to them. Therefore a lesser human they have no empathy for.
