Loss of jobs, high fuel prices, trading food for fuel, loss of homes, using food to make fuel, becoming the servants and field-hands of the upper top-tier. The top-tier read about inflation in the Wall Street Journal; you read about inflation at the grocery check-out aisle.

This is a very well-thought and well-written article. It's certainly clears the confusion of bitterness, and, after reading its content, which hits the nail on-the-head, if you weren't bitter before, you'll be bitter when you finish.
