But I think a far more important question to ask and answer is about the lowest two quintiles. Forty percent of our population is living on these kinds of dollars.

ME!!! My income, for the last three years, has been lowest quartile. This year, though a good deal of effort -- starting a business with no money down, during a recession -- I will move into the second one. I have gotten through by family and other charity. When you imagine the lowest quartile, think of me, won't you?

IT IS ENTIRELY IN OUR SELF INTEREST, ALL OF US, TO RAISE THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR OUR FELLOW CITIZENS AT THIS END OF THE SCALE, THE "LESS FORTUNATE".

THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS THROUGH ECONOMIC GROWTH, as a rising tide lifts all boats.
