Novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald best known for chronicling the rich in The Great Gatsby supposedly said to Ernest Hemingway “The rich are different than you and me.”To which Hemingway reportedly quipped “Yes they have more money.”That’s a good line but it overlooks the role top earners play as economic activists in the nation’s economy.
