Poor, poor pitiful mittens.

(7,719 posts)No, it's not enough that I'm ugly, or that I stink, or that my socks have holes in them, but now I gotta be ridiculed for being poor, too? The last time I even saw a hundred dollar bill, Ben Franklin had short, black hair! I found a dime on the sidewalk yesterday and increased my wealth tenfold! Let's see Romney do that in one day! Harumph!

...As veteran cultural critic Thomas Frank recounts in his scathing new book Pity the Billionaire: The Hard-Times Swindle and the Unlikely Comeback of the Right (Metropolitan), the chaos didnt lead to full-scale, pitchfork-waving condemnation of laissez-faire ideology in America, as it did during the Great Depression. Instead, in a bewildering turn, large swaths of American society reacted with renewed fervour for unregulated, free-wheeling capitalism.
