e rich whine that they are the ones who are suffering most．In current context，the wealthy even demands more tax cuts and more cuts in spending for programs aiding the poor，as every Republican presidential candidate promises． I first noticed this woe-is-me attitude among the rich in l974 when Alan Greenspan had just been named chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers．One of his first tasks was to address a conference with emphasis on cutting programs to aid the poor，which broughtdemonstrators to the event．In an effort to show that everyone was suffering from inflation，Mr．Greenspan said，“If you really wanted to examine percentage．wise who was hurt the most on their income，it was Wall Street brokers．” The urge to find ways to pity the well—off is still alive and well．Last week，BloombergNews reported that declining bonuses are creating severe hardship for many in the top 1percent of income distribution．One of them，Andrew Schiff，complained that his$350，000salary barely covers his expenses．Others lamented that they could no longer go to Aspen toski and must buy discount salmon． I have to admit that everyone’s suffering is sunective．But there does seem to be awidespread view that the poor don’t suffer as much from economic downturns because theyare used to being at the bottom．As Bob Dylan put it，“When you got nothing，you gotnothing to lose．”Those with expectations of staying on top，who have grown used to living the good life，no doubt do suffer meaningfully when those expectations are shattered and theymust learl)to get by on incomes only five or l o times the poverty—level income rather than 20 or 30 times． Admittedly，there doesn’t yet seem to be much downside for Republican candidates pandering to the rich．For one thing，they all have billionaires and other ultrarich people funding super political action committees for them．But one of these days，the Republicannominee will be chosen and will have to compete in the general election against PresidentObama．And it is unlikely that the Republican nominee can win with only conservative Republican votes；he will have to reach out to those who don’t necessarily believe that cutting taxes for the rich is the one and only policy that will stimulate growth． As a January poll from the Pew Research Center shows，tw0—thirds of Americans see strong conflict between the rich and the poor，up from 47 percent in 2009．And a number of polls show that Americans support higher tax rates on millionaires by a ratio of 2-to-1 0r more．I think the Republican nominee is going to have a hard time responding if all he has to say is the rich need more tax cuts to compensate them for all their suffering during the economic crisis． From the passage，we know that Allan Greenspan______．
