A Billionaire Is Mad That Poor Kids Get Free Sandwiches
Posted by Tao23
…so I wrote a little tweetstorm about that.
When @BetsyDeVosED was a cluster of four cells, was she out inventing a new technology to profit from so she could be born a billionaire?

So how did @BetsyDeVosED earn her billionaire status before she was born?
The only conclusion is: bullshit pseudo-Darwinism.

In her eyes, of course. The notion is utter nonsense used to prop up an unconsidered life and sense of entitlement. @BetsyDeVosED

And if there is ANYTHING antithetical to the (positive side of) the founding ideals of the USA, it's hereditary aristocracy.@BetsyDeVosED

Slavery was divisive because it is at opposition to the core of a republic/democracy. A house divided against itself.@BetsyDeVosED

And the core of *slavery* is the aristocratic notion that some humans are more equal.
The same foundation of @BetsyDeVosED's entitled sneer.— S.A. Barton SciFi! (@Tao23) February 26, 2017
Sorry about the repeated tweet at the end. Twitter threads are formed by replying to yourself, and now twitter displays the tweet each one is replying to for context… except to make a readable thread like this it means you now have to insert ONLY EVERY OTHER TWEET if you want each tweet to appear only once.
And of course I had to have an odd singleton tweet at the end because, apparently, I like to stir up trouble.
Which, really, is what a writer’s job is.
I could have gone into extra detail between tweets explaining myself further, but I think the tweets speak for themselves and I’d just be beating each point to death.
Plus, if anyone has questions or additions or comments there’s always the… um… comments here. 🙂
