I think it's because most Americans feel a little guilty about hiring people to wait on them...so they become paternalistic. Rather than acknowledge their lazy ways, they start thinking that they're performing some kind of charity by hiring people to make their beds and swab their toilets.
I don't mind people having servants unless they have to open up the borders and let in the cartel and terrorists.
So, Laura, why can't you just make your own bed? Buy a Roomba?
Fantastic. Waiting for you to post about the Bush compound in Uruguay, next.
How many servants and flunkies do your think George Bush and Laura employ theses days? I have no idea. I know that George W Bush grew up with a lot of them.
