Those were the best years. The US had a large middle class - good years for the middle class. Today we have good years for the upper, upper, upper class. How and why did that change. The Village is a great place to ask and answer that question. Maybe there should be more articles about The Village, not less. It would be nice if social scientists from different Universities would come and study the people here. It might answer where and when America was great and how to best return to that overall (not perfect) time period when the middle class was dominate.
