Former Senator John F Kerry (D-MA), the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, then Secretary of State under President Barack Hussein Obama, and now President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, knows just how special he is!

John Kerry to the elites gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos:

That “select group of human beings”? How were they selected? Mostly by how much money they have.

Mr Kerry is wealthy too, having made his fortune the old fashioned way: he married it! Before he married Theresa Heinz, the widow of Senator John Heinz (R-PA), and heir to the Heinz food empire, Mr Kerry “had little more than his annual Senate salary of $133,600 and a trust fund valued at $50,000 to $100,000. When his mother died in 2002, he inherited trusts with $300,000 to $1.5 million in assets,” nothing to sneeze at, but nowhere near his current net worth of $250 million.

So, the hoitiest and the toitiest get to fly, many on private jets, gather together in a posh Swiss ski resort, where they can vacation with their wives and mistresses, and tell those of us who are not so hoity and toity how we must live. I have frequently referred to the Patricians and the plebeians, and the distinguished Mr Kerry decided to give the rest of us an illustration of just what those words mean.

We plebeians, of course, don’t usually have anywhere near Mr Kerry’s $250 million, and surveys have revealed that 49% of Americans would have a difficult time with an unexpected $400 expense, but Mr Kerry, his “select group of human beings,” and the well-off all seem to think that they can simply impose, by government fiat, a whole bunch of additional expenses on us to fight global warming climate change.

Well, not just no, but Hell no!
