What’s great about this country is
that
America
started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the
same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola,
and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke,
and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount
of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is
drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz
Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows, and you know it.
- Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (1975)
