The Aristocracy

Anyone that has read some European history is aware that there were ruling classes in all the countries. It began with the king and his attendants, then the nobles (counts, dukes, earls, knights, etc.) were the rulers of the kingdom. The king appointed judges over the people to make decisions over their problems. Relatives and friends of the nobles were given favored positions in the government and they were part of the aristocracy. They supported the king and the regime because it was their source of power. Like the game of chess they do what they can to support the king. In this Country we also have an aristocracy even though we like to pretend that we do not. Our aristocracy is composed of people that wield power over all the people. First come the families that we always see in power: Roosevelt, Bush, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Dodd, Gore, Daley, Dingle, etc. Others that support these families are the leaders in the administration, those that head up the FDA, EPA, DOA, DOJ and all sorts of additional acronyms, the political parties, the appointed judges, the congress, and the mainstream media. An extension of the aristocracy are college professors, high school teachers and even some grade school teachers. All these people look out for one another, promote their writings, sayings and appearances. These are members of the government or are receiving money from the government. In the United States our government is supposed to serve the people under the rule of law. No matter what political party, more and more we are seeing that the people are not being listened to and the government that affects them is getting bigger and bigger. Our freedom is getting smaller and smaller.
