		<description><![CDATA[Americans don’t like debt, including bills owed by their government. It weighs on them; they’ll take second jobs to pay off loans. But for the majority of millionaires – the 1 percent -- incurring debt does not evoke anxiety. They’re numb to the feeling of obligation that indebtedness induces in the 99 percent.
