[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Funny, the SES disparity was bigger, but no one noticed it as much back then. A blessing in disguise. Now, everyone has to have this or that to be happy. When did we turn into a flock of sheeple? Such a shame, truly. [/quote] No, its worse now. Statistics are clear about the declining middle class, increased number of families who are poor or nearly so and the rich being richer and owning more than anytime since the robber baron years. Remember-one old family car, a Rambler, new shoes once a year, new clothes only on true sale, but mainly from thrift stores, dependent on the garden for food as fresh was scarce during the winter, dented canned food the norm, worked for money from the time you could (newspaper route, babysitting, odd jobs until I got my first job at 16). Interesting memories! [/quote] disparity bigger, but standard of living for the poor has gone up[/quote]
