First I disagree with the premise (requiring dual incomes) and second we used to have a flatter income curve. At no time in history have Americans, or anyone, really, had standards of living as high as ours are today. Never. Except for a very small number who are disadvantaged, America is a place where ANYONE who chooses to can get ahead and become wealthy. Obama is evidence of just that. He claims to have been disadvantaged, even used drugs as a teenager, black, and yet, he is able to make a credible run for the presidency. When it is all overwith, it may be that Obama's greatest claim to fame is that he showed that anyone, no matter how bad they have it in life, can rise from the ashes.
