World's Highest Standard Of Living

Margaret Bourke-White was an excellent photographer. Neat and amazing lady too. If you have the time, read about her on Wikipedia.

My favorite picture she did is the candid shot she took in 1937 after the Louisville flood. People (mostly black people) were lined up to get free bread, and behind them was a billboard saying that America has the world's highest standard of living. Especially if you are white.




Not any more.

America isn't even in the Top 5.

-
As Americans we need to become a little more sceptical about the propaganda our own government feeds us.
