Middle class families used to have servants to do their daily chores (cooks, maids, butlers, drivers, and gardeners). Today middle class families do most of this work themselves, so its obvious that almost everyone today is poor.

The dopey idea that wealth is something that needs to be concentrated shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what wealth is. What they really mean is 'envy of the past'. People used to be waited on hand without doing anything useful, but jealous people took this from them by force.

Mq,

Your comment parallels one from the Saudi prince who observed recently:

"My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a Cadillac. I ride a lear-jet, my grandson will ride a camel."
