Thanks for an interesting read. My father was one of the 1%ers. When I was a kid growing up in CT we had a neighbor who was my grandparents age. My father had known her since he was a kid. He mowed her lawn, trimmed hedges, raked leaves in the fall and shoveled her driveway in the winter time. He didn't take money, that's what neighbor's did for each other back then. I do remember her getting a doll or stuffed animal for me on my birthday or Christmas sometimes. It must have been a time when people trusted each other more? Looked out for each other? Took responsibility for their actions.
