@Cyrus992 Elizabeth Warren's video (The Coming Collapse of the Middleclass) is really a great piece of research done by Mrs Warren. watch?v=akVL7QY0S8A

@Cyrus992 Healthcare, housing, childcare( because moms went to work in the 70s) and insurance has not only stole any increase, but has stole the 17% saving that american families had on the 70s.

@louiethegreater The median household income has gone up ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION from the 1970's... You can tell by houses we live in and the cars we drive...

@Cyrus992 So you are saying that investment income has gone up for working americans.

@louiethegreater Wages deal what you make every hour... Income is the total of all the payment recieved in a month, year, etc...
louiethegreater (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Remember there is a DIFFERENCE between INCOME and WAGES!! Income have risen, but wages less...

@rudarisfinaris No I'm disagreeing with the notion that it was "natural" or "desirable" for the people to hoard the rice, free market or otherwise. And no, Sen's ideas would have prevented the famine, which was caused by war and a failure of the unelected government to act.
