For reason.tv: Living Large
Drew Carey: Ah-h-h, isn’t life in America great? But maybe I’m just an out-of-touch rich guy. Wonder
what it’s like for the middleclass in America?
CNN Lou Dobbs: What’s left of our middle class may be on the verge of collapse.
CNN New York Anchor Desk: The American dream is under siege.
CNN Lou Dobbs: Corporate America posting record profits so why in the world are middleclass
Americans suffering from declining pay and standards of living?
Drew Carey: Well, that’s a good question, Lou. We headed to California’s Castaic Lake to confront
some fat cats as they played around in the water with hardly a care in the world.
Tourist: Ha, ha, ha.
Drew Carey: Nothing but fast toys, Hummers and Escalades. Of course, their owners were happy to
brag about them.
Boat Owner 1: It’s a Yamaha. It’s a twin-engine high output.
Drew Carey: Ever seen the price tag for a 27-foot boat?
Boat Owner 3: Oh, it cost $50,000.
Boat Owner 2: It’s a special boat like for wakeboarding.
Male 2: Well, you need something to tow it, right? Ha Ha Ha.
Boat Owner 2: Every day that they wake up, they believe that this day is going to be better than
yesterday.
Drew Carey: Yeah. Well, today is going to be better than yesterday if all you gotta to do today is go
wakeboarding. This rich guy sees the world through rose-colored designer glasses, probably a trust fund
kid who doesn’t even have a job.
Interviewer Voice: What do you do for a living?
Boat Owner 2: I’m a gardener.
Drew Carey: A gardener? Well, this guy’s gotta be a fat cat CEO.
Interviewer Voice: What’s your job?
Boat Owner 3: I sell building materials.
Interviewer Voice: So you must be like a corporate CEO or something, right, to support something like
this?
