Neocon Bill Kristol is a walking example of why white working class voters favored Donald Trump over his Republican opponents and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
Kristol has been a tireless promoter of American wars in the Middle East. But in his recent remarks (below), the smirking, smarmy Kirstol expresses his cold-blooded contempt for the well-being of the working class that provides the cannon fodder for Kristol's Mideast wars.
American working class kids die in Kirstol's Mideast wars, while Kirstol and his Neocon colleagues send their kids to the pampered safety of Ivy League colleges, followed by lucrative jobs in media, law, finance, and politics.
And this is the "gratitude" that returning working class war veterans get for their blood, sweat, toil, and tears. A working class kid loses an arm or an eye in Iraq, returns to joblessness, and is essentially told, "Fuck off, loser!" by the Neocons.
It's not just a white thing. Black workers too are offended by these fat, selfish, cold-blooded, pampered Neocon warmongers.
If libertarians want the support of American working class voters, they must demonstrate more compassion for the plight of a working class devastated by globalization, offshoring, wage compression, and other economic woes. Taking a page from lunatic pseudo-philosopher Ayn Rand is not the answer.
Kristol not only spits in the faces of America workers -- he then expects them to pay the taxes for, and even to die, in his Mideast wars. Would that his children were placed on the front lines!
