Another article wherein Rick Santorum is seen engaging in class warfare. He bases his argument (if you can call it that) on the idea that education and a belief in healthcare for all equate with a form of elitism that President Obama and Mitt Romney have, and still do, engage in. Can access to healthcare for all really be seen as an elite invention? How does encouraging students to continue on to college make the President a "snobbish elite"? I think you'll see that Santorum is utilizing his own assumptions about the people of America in his rhetoric, in which case, how can anyone in a position of power ever hope to escape the trap of "elitist" thinking and speaking?
