When Did Public Servants Become Royalty T-Shirt

The saying here asks what many are wondering regarding so called duly elected officials. When did public servants become royalty? Many officials today believe they are royalty and above everyone, expecting the masses to follow the freedom infringing legislation they conjure up while they themselves along with wealthy aristrocrats and company get special exemptions that us little people are expected to follow. What's worse is those who will go out of their way to defend all these folks that are not on the same level and are located in ivory tower areas away from the peasantry that they are supposed to represent. The saying here asks the begging question that many want to know and why those in high areas believe they're royalty and such hot stuff while the lowly peasantry get shafted and thrown under the bus.
