I have on the wall of my office a cover of Rising Tide magazine from the spring of 2000.

The cover story is entitled: “The GOP’s IPO: How Republican Policies Are Turning the Working Class Into the Investor Class.” The author is Ramesh Ponnuru.

There’s also a cartoon of a big guy wearing a T-shirt and a hard hat, and reading the Wall Street Journal.

(FYI, Rising Tide was the Republican Party magazine – I don’t think it still exists. I was the editor back then. I’m still around).
