I Damned Well Earned It

"I served in the Army. I worked blue-collar jobs. I washed dishes and bused tables. I went to college at night and worked during the day for an insurance company...My father was raised in an orphanage, and my mother was an immigrant from Poland who first childhood memory was of hunger. Somehow, despite all of that, I am called a member of the 'elite.' If so, I damned well earned it."

--" 'Real America' is its Own Bubble" by Richard Cohen, the Washington Post
