standard of living

Submitted by Guest on January 21, 2008 - 18:01.

The demand for a fair standard of living is the basis of what we memorialize on MLK day. There are more and more rich people, making more money than ever in history... and at the same time, many in our country are seeing a decline in real wages, and in some ways a real decline in their standard of living. This is an immoral situation, and must be reversed.

Yes, if we're making less and can't afford the good cheese, definitely eat less cheese or cheaper cheese... yes, if our wine budget is too fat, slim it down. But there are people who need to see the doctor, need to pay for education, and need a safe place to live, who need to have their standard of living improved.
