What poor people have gotten poorer? Can you show me a time when the living standards of the poor ever being better than they are now? Economic equality was increasing rapidly throughout the last few hundered years until recently when the American government started rapidly expanding and corrupt politicians started taking "donations" from losers to keep the potential winners out of the marketplace. |
Living standards have gotten better because of advances in technology, and advances in technology alone. The gap between common worker and CEO has increased. Umemployment rates have increased from a spread of 2-8% in the 1950's to a 4-10% spread in this centuery, etc.
Technology is what's responsible for most economic equality now. Most people have TV's, A/C, Heating, Electricity, Cable, Internet, etc all because it's gotten cheaper, not because people are getting paid more uniformly. Plus the difference from a high end TV and a lot end TV now is only a few thousand dollars, or maybe a few years of waiting time.
