[quote=sdrealtor]So most of the poor stay poor and most of the rich stay rich. My challenge is that wealth is not a finite thing. It grows over time. So even though the richest get richer, others can still get richer too even though they may hold a smaller share of the ever increasing pie. We live in the real world not on some graph with an income distribution. I still see people better off today than a generation or two ago.[/quote]
not really.
life expectancy is falling,
education/literacy is falling.
it takes 2 incomes to do what 1 income did
