Usually these guys are themselves pampered little weenies who have never experienced real hardship nor acknowledge real hardship in others, but have gained a little success, and then buy into their own hype (to paraphrase Ann Richards: born on third base, act like they hit a triple). Their smug, over-inflated sense of self worth and entitlement drives a lot of their right wing political agendas, like their attitudes toward business, taxes, the poor, minorities, women, the environment ("my water doesn't make me sick, you whiner!") and even our policies on torture.
I recently found a couple of videos that clearly show some of these guys in their natural habitat.
Fox Business Channel's Stuart Varney:
WLS's Matthew Erich "Mancow" Muller:

Mancow's little experience taught him his lesson. Maybe Varney should be forced to do his broadcasts with a Chinese accent and he'll learn his.
