Mencken quote[edit]

Regarding Sumner's definition of "The Forgotten Man," it might be worthwhile to include H.L. Mencken's famous observation to the effect that "When A annoys or injures B on the pretense of saving or improving X, A is a scoundrel." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.134.125 (talk) 08:41, August 14, 2014 (UTC)

The Shlaes Book Should Be Included. Suggestion[edit]

I think it would be appropriate and informative to add the book by Amity Shlaes, "The Forgotten Man" to this page. The title is borrowed from the sources as describe din this article, and deals with the Great Depression and New Deal, as does this article. Finally, the book is also available as a comic, which should cement its bonafides in the eyes of Wikipedia's ruling elite. Sorry, there is not a pr0n version available, which is, I am confident, the reason it has not already been included here in one of the meaningless "Popular Culture" sections. The Shlaes book itself uses the phrase as the title, and treats the topic that the quote's originator *and its usurper* dealt with. Haakondahl (talk) 06:27, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
