re: I'm sick of people saying the middle class is worse off than 4 decades ago.

And hey, since 1970 was so goddamned comfortable, can any of you explain why home ownership rates and car ownership rates in 1970 were a crack lower than they are today?

Or, maybe you can explain why vehicle ownership per capita in 1970 was about 300 fewer vehicles?

Those dudes just didn't know how much discretionary income they had!! Those idiots!
