It seems that, in addition to those we've dubbed "wealthy spoiled brats," there are those who feel resentment towards perceived elites making decisions in opposition to their desires. I'm just speculating, of course, but that was one of the motivations that drove some French voters to reject the EU constitution. Concertmaster "Save the world with a sound" Geldof, eloquent as always, seems to be in agreement with us on this; he called the self-styled anarchists "idiots."

I can have respect for Chomsky's so-called "libertarian socialism" if only because it has some semblance of intellectual consistency to it. But this isn't the case. “Wealthy spoiled brats” sounds about right.
