The 1 Percent's Vile New War

Rich people rarely tell you how they really feel about poor people. Occasionally, though, you get a glimpse. Earlier this week, the Washington Post published a story about Rancho Santa Fe, a small but extremely wealthy enclave in Southern California. Like the rest of California, the people of Rancho Santa Fe are dealing with a drought. As you might imagine, that means water is scarce and conservation is critical. For the denizens of Rancho Santa Fe, however, conservation is someone else's problem, namely poor people. According to Steve Yuhas, who lives in the area and hosts a conservative talk-radio show, privileged people "should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful." Oh, the humanity! In case it wasn't clear, Yuhas added that the right to water ought to scale with income: "No, we're not all equal when it comes to water." And Yuhas isn't alone. Gay Butler, an avid equestrian and fellow resident of Rancho Santa Fe, fumed for similar reasons. "It angers me because people aren't looking at the overall picture," she said. "What are we supposed to do, just have dirt around our house on four acres?" Perhaps Butler has a point. It's one thing to demand sacrifice in extraordinary circumstances, but we've got to draw the line somewhere, right? If a woman wants to ride her finely manicured horse on a dirt-free prairie in the middle of the desert, what matters a little drought? Brett Barbre, a fellow Orange Country aristocrat, also appears to get it. "I call it the war on suburbia," he remarked. "California used to be the land of opportunity and freedom. It's slowly becoming the land of one group telling everyone else how they think everybody should live their lives." Barbre continued: "They'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands." You may be asking yourself: Do restrictions on water consumption during a historic drought really constitute an all-out assault on human freedom? Fair question. Most of us fail to see this issue in such grand terms. Maybe we're missing something. Mr. Barbre is either a bold lover of liberty or a detached plutocrat with a penchant for hyperbole. You be the judge. In any case, I see the decadence of the people in Rancho Santa Fe as a microcosm of America today, particularly corporate America. What these people exhibit, apart from their smugness, is a complete absence of any sense of collective responsibility. They can't see and aren't interested in the consequences of their actions. And they can't muster a modicum of moderation in the face of enormous scarcity. Every resource, every privilege, is theirs to pilfer with impunity. These people are prepared to endanger an entire ecosystem simply to avoid the indignity of brown golf courses; this is what true entitlement looks like. The wealthiest Americans - and their apostles in government - tell us that it's the poor people who are entitled, who take and exploit and keep more than they deserve. But that's a half-truth, and a dangerous one at that. Entitlement has many faces, the most destructive of which is on display in Rancho Santa Fe. These adolescent upper-crusters are entitled because they believe they have a right to everything they can get hold of - regardless of the costs. They believe living with others carries no obligations. Anyone who places their right to pristine golf courses above their responsibility to respect communal resources is a social toxin, a privileged parasite eating away at the foundations of society. It's important that their actions be seen in this context. http://ift.tt/1eDrA1U

Paris and Berlin residents express their feeling on Greece bailout talks

As the eurozone heads into day two of its critical week of Greek bailout talks, it's clear that it's not only Greeks who are feeling the pressure. In Paris, which saw thousands march over the weekend to support Greece, some feel that being a part of Europe comes with responsibilities for everyone. "When we decided to create Europe, it supposed to have an idea of solidarity," explained Parisian Pascal Bazea. "Now we should show this solidarity, and prove it:" "On the news this morning I understood that we are heading towards an agreement. I think this is positive," said Paris resident Diane Monnier adding, "I think the Greek debt must be cancelled to help the country to recover." These views stand in stark contrast from the rhetoric from many EU leaders. German officials have warned Greece that they would have to leave the eurozone if they fail to do a deal. A tactic which Berlin resident Rainer is not at all happy with. "The German government must stop destroying Greece. This is not just about Greece but also about Spain. When they (Spaniards) go to the polls we might finally get a different Europe. To me, it seems we have forces within the EU who are not interested in saving Greece but simply in doing away with a leftist governments." "I am definitely of the opinion that we should try to keep Greece in the EU," said pensioner Gisela Hauff. "Germany is a rich country and we invested a lot of money, including us individual citizens. We hardly get any interest on our savings anymore". Europe's grand unifier, the single currency appears to be uniting many on the streets of Paris and Berlin in the opinion that a Grexit must be avoided at all costs.
