that the masses are better off than they
ever were in any previous era or me

true that the larger percentage OF the
whole mass is In a condition of comfort
than in any previous period OF the
world. and yet they add: Look UP there
and YOU see men with a hunded millions
OF dollars; and look down here at the bot

fortunes larger than any previous age
