I can’t disagree with your take at all. It is a very multifaceted issue

I'm not going to lie I nearly didn't write that word salad up ( I apologize for not making paragraphs) because I thought I was going to get. "Lol whatever bootlicker" as a reply. +1 hero point to you

Well my response was pretty glib and painted with a very broad brush. You used a finer brush to paint your picture.

Frankly, I think both views have merit. There were good results from patronage of the rich, but I hate seeing them used as justification for the continued deification of the rich.

There's just too much hero worship in American society in general. We go ga-ga for the rich, the beautiful, athletes, actors, musicians, etc. It can be frustrating. Here's to hoping it isn't always like this. Who knows maybe someday large amounts of people will watch hours long lectures on ethical philosophy, historiography, physics, etc instead of baseball, football, and basketball. Most Americans can't name their senators or their governor but can tell you the name of some obscure athlete from two decades ago.
