Economically-speaking, most Americans would much rather take things the way they are in 2003 than 1960.

Says WHO?

Non college educated Americans have steadily lost ground since 1970. Looking around, the credential requirements of what constitutes a "good" job just keep getting higher and higher. In 1968, I remember there were plenty of stories in the press about how the average salary of union seniority blue collar workers approached those of college graduates.

It's more fun to be rich in 2003 than in 1960. But it is vastly more fun to be blue collar in 1960 than in 2003. Last time I checked, there were more blue collar than rich people.
