My parents had two houses until my dad died in 1980. My dad drove a Mercedes. We had a 30 foot sailboat. My uncle lived in Half Moon Bay on a very expensive street outside San Fran. My parents provided well for me but they were not filthy rich. My mom was a grade school teacher and my dad was a high school biology teacher. Hardly rich, but certainly middle class.
The irony of you complaining about their alleged silver-spoon lives when they didn't have any of these things you admit to having is funny as hell.

I don't see either republican or libertarian economic views as helping either the middle class or poor. I don't care if they did come from the middle class like me. Libertarians to me get the social issues right, but as far as economics they to me are really nothing but republicans on steroids.
You don't know what lyrics of their espouse what values that coincide with Libertarian values, though. Hint: it's not the economy, stupid.

RUSH simply comes across as selling to those who daydream about having fun. I do still like RUSH but I don't see their lyrics the same way I did when I first started listening to them.
You're clearly ignorant of their body of work. You'd have been better off simply saying "I don't like them" and leaving it at that.
Stick to ABBA. It's more your speed.
