Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, the former Hillary Clinton supporter, titled aristocrat, and wife of the heir to a banking fortune, does not approve of Barack Obama. This not just because he is an "elitist", but — shock — because of his tax plan, which, on the Huffington Post today, she calls "sinister" not just because it raises taxes on the fantastically rich, which is bad because "it has been shown that reductions in tax rates increase tax revenues because private enterprise strengthens the economy which in turn creates a larger tax base," but because it compromises the American Dream:

There is a reason why immigrants fly to America to achieve their dream. Now, in the guise of a "middle class tax cut" Barack Obama is threatening that dream. If he succeeds, Barack Obama will bring the kind of radical transformation that this country does not need and never has. And the country will be in for a shock.

And Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild needs immigrants. Who else would iron her sheets?
