Reads like a Stalinist screed railing against affluence and urging ever more sacrifice towards an ever closer victory.

It made you uncomfortable.

Nothing inherently wrong with affluence. It's all how you handle it in your brain and if you stay 'sharp and hungry' or not, as a result. That's what I think this author says, and I would like to see a counter argument that this is not going to be a problem for us over the protracted long haul.

Some of the most impatient Americans I have come across haven't a trace of affluence. Visited a Democrat-laden trailer park recently? Experienced the atmosphere of 'patience' and 'concentrated, strategic thinking'?
