A hundred years ago, the rich man drove a car and the poor man walked.
That was a big difference. Today, the rich man drives a new Porsche and
the poor man drives a second-hand Honda Civic. That is not such a big
difference. A century ago, rich families avoided the cold weather by going
to Florida for the winter. Meanwhile, poor families braved the elements.
Today, most families, whatever their economic status, enjoy central
heating; but the poor have benefited more from this invention because it
has alleviated a situation from which they previously had no
escape. -- Dinesh D'Souza
