“We are living like the Waltons—with TV sets rather than radio.”

I frequently travel in third world countries on business. In these countries the middle class lifestyle is having electricity and running water plus a television in one’s home. The floor of the home may be dirt and the walls of the home may be tin or plywood. The television distinguishes the middle class from the poor.

These nations are also characterized by a small wealthy elite ruling over the masses who at best are able to save up to purchase the television. This is the vision of equality Obama, Shumer, Pelosi, Reid, and George Soros have for America. You are there, it will be here for the rest of us soon.

I would have thought it was something other than the television - maybe a refrigerator
