Very true, but it is all about PERCEPTION, not reality. In the 1950s-- and even into the 1960s-- most of us were happy to live in small little bungalows and share a room with three brothers. Today, the Bernie Saunders and Elizabeth Warrens of the world have a large part of America considering themselves in poverty if they actually have to pay for a college education of dubious value.
They are no different from the Perons of the 1940s or the Chilean Communists of the 1970s in convincing a sizable part of the electorate that they are ENTITLED to what somebody else is perceived as having.
