> Steinbeck has a dynamite line about this. I'd appreciate you quoting it.

  “Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” It's often attributed to Steinbeck but in my understanding, it's not entirely clear if that's true or not.

    Ah right! Should've made the connection. Since I have you for a moment, let me just say I admire the work you do for Rust.
