idol worshipers shilling for their heroes

This guy makes more that 250k a year and it's not because he works so much harder than the rest of us, it's because he's lucky enough to be a member of a privileged class working in a job that pays him very well for the hours he works. I don't begrudge him his success, but the fact that he thinks his success is solely due to his work ethic is very telling. The fact is that the vast majority of people in this country, many of whom don't happen to be white males like him, don't get the breaks this fellow got and work in equally valuable fields for far less money. (Like the teachers who taught him, for instance.) That assumed superiority is what gives him away as a Randian asshole.
