But when they say "we," they mean "you." Sacrifice is for the little people.

This is a great article by Paul Krugman, who won what is known as the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2008. Now I know you're thinking to yourself, "The NYT?? Their articles always a gazillion pages, no way I'm going to click on that!" But behold! A short, one page article on the NYT. It can, and it has, been done! Both the title of this post and the sentence below are quotes from the article. Enjoy!!


"And when the tax fight is over, one way or another, you can be sure that the people currently defending the incomes of the elite will go back to demanding cuts in Social Security and aid to the unemployed. America must make hard choices, they’ll say; we all have to be willing to make sacrifices."
