>> We used to just have millionaires, Dave. Being a millionaire was considered "rich".

Yes, and being "poor" used to mean no air conditioning or heat, no car, no TV, no cable or satellite, no telephone, insufficient food, no access to health care.

Today, a "poor" person has all those things. The lives of the poor in the US have improved substantially more since the 1950s than have the lives of millionaires.
