"Things have advanced so much, but the quality of life hasn't improved." It applies more now than ever. America is a prosperous country where the business class is favored. The working class is not exploited in terms of their salaries as much as they are exploited by a business community that creates artificial necessities and raises the prices on basic commodities like housing and health. Ironically, although the working class has more money than ever before, they are also less free from want than ever before. -H.H. Dhanurdhara Swami
