How Some Wealthy Left-Wingers Live

Bruce Thorton reports:

When the Clintons came to Washington, they could have sent a powerful message of support for D.C. public schools by enrolling Chelsea in a neighborhood school like Jefferson or Hine. But of course, they enrolled her instead in the super-elite Sidwell Friends. Chomsky, who claims to be fond of fraternizing with the working class and "‘those considered to be riff-raff,’" as he puts it, has no intentions of actually living near any of them. About the time forced busing was imposed on the Boston area, Chomsky moved to the tony suburb of Lexington, buying a house worth nearly a million dollars. He also owns a vacation home in Wellfleet, worth $1.2. "Radical" author Howard Zinn "owns two homes in expensive lily-white Wellfleet and a third in multicultural Auburndale (minority population 3.3 percent)."

Some people really don't believe in public education and paying high tax rates.
