Yeah, things have always been tough on the working class no matter how you slice it.

It used to be when a man's wife had a baby, all he got was a free beer after work with the boys before he went to see his wife in the hospital.

We've come a long way, but we've got much farther to go. The 50s-70s aren't some kind of magical economic utopia. Backwards is not forwards.
