On the Fact that There Are Way Too Many People In this Country Who Do Not Value What They Have nor the Sacrifices of Those Who Came Before Them Who Made it All Possible

Yeah, what folks have to realize is that as recently as 1910 the average person in this country made less than $2 a day (http://web.stanford.edu/group/spatialhistory/cgi-bin/railroaded/gallery/interactive-visualizations/capita-income-united-states-1880-1910) and had virtually none of the amenities that we now take for granted (everything from refrigeration and to computers)…...and while, yes, there is income inequality, not only are the poor people in this country better off than the middle class in numerous other countries, they're better off than royals were even three centuries ago, so, please stop the whining.
