<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robert Ransom, post: 7313368, member: 97872&quot;]Asked and answered by you once again. My point is this: Most societies share the same relative economic level of class differential to some degree, however, the percentages may vary by civilization. The farmer/middle class example is a generality without merit, but I do see your point, however, a &quot;farmer&quot; in days gone by would be a person, the same as or slightly above the common worker who lives from paycheck to paycheck. Replacing a broken tool would be a necessity to continue his work and borrowing the funds to purchase a new tool or repair the old one would be no different than the farmers of today, many of whom live crop to crop if they are lucky, but I digress. Using percentages, because I hate labels, 65% of people live paycheck to paycheck with some able to save a small amount, 25% live comfortably and have reasonable savings, 7% live high on the hog and have significant reserves and finally, the 3% who can do what they want.</p><p>What I am attempting to say is that class distinction and wealth distribution continues to this day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
