Bob; it's always been this way. There has always been a class at the bottom 
that can barely get by. I think that class is getting bigger, while the rich 
get richer. I'm with Bev...there isn't much of a middle class anymore (where 
do you draw the line at the bottom of 'middle class'? I suspect many on this 
list don't make the cut). It's the 'haves' and the "have nots".  Since the 
rich run everything, there's not much the lower class can do (except elect 
Obama, haha).
