They are also some of the most unhappiest, and rude, people I have encountered. Not all trial lawyers are jerks, of course. No profession is monolithic - there are nice people who are lawyers, and mean people who are church pastors. But, the bell curve for lawyers is more towards the side of liberal, Democrat, predatory, greedy, confrontational, hostile, argumentative, and conniving.
Last weekend, one of these rich lawyers (who I don't know personally, but I know who he is) was ahead of me in line at Starbucks. The kid working there has Down Syndrome. He is a hard worker, and has been at the Starbucks for over 2 years.
The lawyer's coffee order was messed up (or at least the lawyer thought it was). He screamed at the employee, who just stood there stunned. Then, the lawyer caught his temper, realized he was making a scene, and gave it the "OK...just give me THIS...no problem.....OK!?!!?"
While waiting for his cup of whatever, all ticked off at the world, I got out of line, stood between him and the counter, and glared at our wonderful citizen attorney.
His look shot back anger, and I starred right back.
He then ignored me, but I got my point across. He never said another word, to anyone. He got his cup of coffee and ran out.
The lawyers who give Zillions to Democrats and make everything for all us more expensive, from health care to automobiles to the food we buy - are a blight. They are parasites.
It's high time they be put in their place.
