There are none so blind as those who will not see. You whine about the 1% but you thennsay that the "framers were all "yeoman farmers"  Hilarious that you cite the Emolument Clause when The Clintons, Obamas and Trumps are reaping tens of millions from foreign governments, banks and potentates. Do you really think that the Adamses, Tafts, Roosevelts, Byrds, Udals, Kennedys,Clintons and Trumps are not nobility?  Wake up and smell the champaign Thomas.
