Oh wow.  Sounds like the old, "Govco spends the money better than you!" mixed in with, "jobs that pay less are better for society/more noble than those that pay lots!" No doubt said from someone atop an ivory tower...
"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"

That's pretty bad, although the article itself wasn't as awful as I feared.
