1. Auther of "Nickle and Dimed"
"I first began to sense this in the boom years of the late 1990s, when I was working in entry-level jobs for my book "Nickel and Dimed." While the stock market soared and fortunes were being made in the time it takes to say "IPO," my $6-to-$8-an-hour co-workers lunched on hot dog buns because that was all they could afford and, in some cases, fretted about whether they could find a safe place to sleep."

3. It was a Pub President Reagan who made super rich a popular goal
The sheer greed and lacking of empathy surely describes the Republican party.
