perhaps it's the way he writes but brooks who really knows how to defend the wrong people at the wrong time just last month the order award when he suggested that america doesn't have a leadership problem but a followership problem. it is the in his world it's not the world of crap if you have our leaders it's the issues but it's you and yes i'm serious about that take a look at what he wrote he said i don't know if america has a leadership problem it certainly has a followership problem that's majorities of americans don't trust their institutions that's not mostly because our institutions perform much worse than they did in one thousand nine hundred five in one nine hundred fifty five when they were widely trusted it's mostly because more people are cynical and like to pretend that they are better than everything else around that vanity has more to do with rising distrust than anything else. so his article left people genuinely wondering how his neck isn't sore from so much elitist ass kissing but now he's out with a new column it's called why our elites stink but if you think he's c

now the part of his theory that brooks objects to is what hayes sees as the reason that upward mobility has become so difficult has believed that in order to keep their status elitist elites engage in corruption and a cartel like behavior which prevents anyone else from ever reaching their level but drugs disagrees with his theory the argues that elites keep their status because they're quote ambitious and disciplined he goes on to say quote they raise their kids in organized families they spend enormous amounts of money and time on enrichment they work much longer hours than people down the income scale driving their kids to piano lessons and then taking part in conference calls from the waiting room well david your argument just isn't very convincing its logic is tortured and manipulated kind of like our financial system to brooks that providing private music lessons for children is a sign of ambition but i guess working your fingers to the bone at two jobs to pay the bills so that maybe your kids can eat a couple meals a day that's not ambitious at all the same effort is there they j
