Pareene has a good piece on Kinsley. While I've been observing this phenomenon forever, I admit I don't understand why people get so jazzed on the idea that other people must suffer. Is it just that rich dudes get pissed off that occasionally they can't get a reservation at their favorite restaurant when they want one?
Poverty sucks. Living paycheck to paycheck, whatever your circumstances, sucks. Why the rich assholes who rule us want to make all that suck worse is a mystery to me.
