And here is the problem -- when news hacks deign fit not to report on corpses or sexy movie stars or people with a beauty-salon fetish or the SHOCKING SECRETS of politicians raising money, they tend to report only on that news which they think needs to be reported, and in that patented trademarked way that always gets you thinking of the angle. Yes poverty is a problem. But is it realistic to believe, given the design of the human race, that everyone can be middle-class? Of course the unwritten notion of such table-pounding is that REAGAN did it (notwithstanding that many hacks live quite well in the upper class, thank you), and in the last graf we get the possibly false stat that "45 million" are without health insurance, which reminds us of how twenty years ago there were three million or ten million homeless on the streets, which made lots of people roll their eyeballs at such stories, which does the poor absolutely no good.
