keep in mind our "standard of living" requires more mullah to sustain.
Middle class in the day consisted of:
Only one TV
No cable bill
One Car
No central air
One phone on the wall
Three bedrooms max
One bathroom
No computer
No cell,blackberry etc
Less advanced healthcare
Vacation tended to be more "local"
Thats from the top of my head. More families today could have a parent stay at home if their lifestyle was this simple. Certainly not all (hence my agreeing with the post) but more.
