While this may well be correct for the majority of citizens,
if you are lucky enough to be in the top 5% or 1% of the
wealth/income distribution, this is a golden age, you never
had it so good, and it is entirely rational to hope for more
of the same only better and more of it..

It all depends who "counts" as a person and citizen...
