It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
Upton Sinclair
The overclass has produced far less than it has taken and destroyed far more than it has created.
The overclass is the cohort in both government and ostensibly private enterprise who derive their sustenance directly or indirectly from government in exchange for goods or services. It consists of the relatively small group who rule, and the much larger group, numbering in the millions, whose defining characteristic is that government is the source of their compensation. For analytic clarity, this group does not include people who receive money from government (e.g. Social Security, AFDC) that is not salaries.
