If you ain't rich, it's probably because you're stupid

the r's have to find a defense for their evisceration of the social contract... barbara ehrenreich spells it out...

Elaine Chao, the secretary of labor, tacitly endorses the intellectual defect theory, stating on CNN recently that "our economy is evolving and transitioning to a knowledge-based economy" that favors the highly educated and highly skilled. Translation: If you're not enjoying the economy, it must be because you're just not too smart. And if you're not smart enough for our knowledge-based economy, you're clearly too dumb to understand how great it really is.

if you're poor (or not making out like a bandit), it's obviously because you're no damn good, nothing but a lazy, ignorant pimple on the ass of progress...
