You had me in your grasp all the way up to your last sentence "The measure of a country is not how it treats its best and brightest during plentiful times, but how it treats it’s poorest and downtrodden during bad times." How did the best & the brightest (the risk takers/creative class) morph suddenly into the poor & the downtrodden? James Mr Frey – what up?
