    Kurt Vonnegut: “America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves.” The converse is also true in that Americans are trained to worship the rich, and to think they deserve all the help they can get, up to, and including, socialism for the wealthy, and rugged capitalism for the rest of us. This is reflected in corporate philosophy.
