And I could do that...now.

Twenty years ago the riding mower was a need because of the time it took to cut the grass which I didn't have because of my job.  So we made that choice too.

I'm talking about people who don't have room to make that choice.  People who do work hard and make good choices but aren't getting anywhere because the system isn't designed for them to get anywhere.
