And now, thirty years later, still things haven't changed much. Here's a song as relevant today as it was a century ago.

    "It's All A Swindle," performed by Ute Lemper.

  2. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. being sadly accurate in 1965's "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater":

    "When the United States of America, which was meant to be a Utopia for all, was less than a century old, Noah Rosewater and a few men like him demonstrated the folly of the Founding Fathers in one respect: those sadly recent ancestors had not made it the law of the Utopia that the wealth of each citizen should be limited."
