I read Eat the Rich several years ago. I’ll never forget O’Rourke’s description of crap-colored public housing projects in Sweden.

The moral of Eat the Rich was that a nation's true wealth doesn't come from raw materials or 'vast tracts of land' or even by plunder, but through the quality of its people, their shared values, and work ethic.

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”

I swear I put in his name several times to see if anyone had posted his death prior to my post. Nothing came up and I was surprised I was the first. Sorry - I really wasn’t aware this was a duplicate.
