...regret going on The Daily Show in the first place? -John Puterbaugh, Dekalb, Ill. No one wants to suffer a beat-down. No one wants to be humiliated or embarrassed. I was shocked at [host Jon Stewart's] behavior. I wish he knew about my background, and I wish he knew about a lot of things that I had done, because I think he would've thanked me instead of attacked...

...opposite side: recent research has found that positive stereotype reinforcement may be just as powerful as any negative threat.

People living on relatively fixed incomes usually do not have the resources to cover their daily expenses for a long time if they lose their jobs or suffer a drop in their earnings. The one thing of value that they had, their home, may currently be worth less than it was 20 or 30 years ago. The wealthy at least have opportunities to make money beyond their salaries whether it is by holding stocks, owning a private business...
