I think you'd find we could all squirrel away fortunes if we lived as spartan a lifestyle as they lived then. You make a good point, but there's no changing the fact that the government takes much more of our money than it did 50 years ago.

Actually, for the wealthy, they're paying less now than 50 years ago. Our tax rates aren't nearly as progessive as they once were.
