Mr Copper–u make a great point…I grew up in Peoria, Illinois in the 40s and 50s…

when I reflect on those years…I sometimes think that not much has changed regarding poverty…there were so many poor neighborhoods back then…we were rich…in the early 50s my Dad would make $25K a yr–we lived in an 18 room house with 2 white mennonite, spinster maids who were with us for 20 yrs–they had room and board and maybe a 100 a month…there were lots of crap jobs with crap wages back then for the majority of the population–of course there was a solid middle class…and the upper crust…i see little difference today–except in attitude–today EVERYONE thinks they’re entitled to all the goodies…and when they don’t get them, the resentment is great: hence the rise of the socialists–too many poor kids with useless educations and not enuff vocational schools…lower middle class youth with an education sit in coffee shops and plot mischief–that’s what happened in russia and led to the bolshevik revolution…
