Yes, a good percentage of the working class are certainly living better today than they did in the twenties. But this isn’t really the way to look at it. We always seem to be looking back when we should be looking at what we could have. We could compare that with what we’ve got now, instead of looking at what it was like years ago and thinking how lucky we are. By looking at it this way, we will advance much more quickly.
