re: People receive more in health care insurance. More obtuse parsing of words. No special effort of parsing is needed. Its a straight up simple fact. re: Those who have good paying jobs aren't at the very bottom. We've never had a situation where everyone had a good paying job. More deception, we were talking education. People without high school degrees could find decent paying jobs. "Talking education" approaches deception on your part, in this context. Your comparing something like the bottom 10% in educational achievement today, to the bottom 50% percent or so of previous generations. Almost everyone graduates HS today (esp. if you include equivalency/GED). In the past a HS diploma wasn't a pre-requisite (for entry level to normal jobs) it was an asset, and one that many people didn't have. If you look at the bottom 5 or 10 or 15% in previous generations they also had it rough, mostly rougher then the equivalent percentage of Americans today.
