Of course not, they would never complain. Poor southerners don't do that. The one did talk about losing the farm though. Don't take his word for it though, look at some data: http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/2008/05/04/average-income-in-the-united-states-1913-2006/ http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/2008/05/04/average-incom...

Ok, so income tripled from 15 to 45. How about purchasing power of that income? How much housing could you buy for that income back then an now? How many children could you raise back then and now for that income? How does tripling even compare to increase in efficiency of industrial and agricultural production? "Losing farm" is impossible now?

  Why don't you reply with some data to have an informed conversation, I'm not your query engine. Know how to google?

    I'm not asking you questions. I'm sharing my questions with you. If you don't want answers to those questions then don't seek them.

      You're too lazy to actually seek answers and participate. Conversation done ;)
