Forgotten man

For over a century there has been the idea of a forgotten man. . At the turn of the 20th century he was first identified by Wm. Sumner. "The Forgotten Man works and votes - generally he prays - but his chief business in life is to pay..." In his April 7th, 1932 radio address, "The forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid," was revisited by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as he introduced his New Deal Programs during the Depression. Who is the forgotten man on the income graph? A represents an idealist who says we should help D in some way. B seconds the idea of A to help D. D is at the bottom of the economic pyramid. Without consulting him, C is the forgotten man who compelled by A and B to help (finance) D. A and B are elite humanitarians, replaced today by the government. Note, A and B generally just make the decisions. . The forgotten man, in the middle of the economic strata, is the poor schmuck who pays for everything - unnecessary, stupid, unwise, unworthy, etc. you get the picture. Sumner’s forgotten man was C. But Roosevelt’s misapplied the word to refer to D. The original forgotten man, C, still pays the moving target D which originated during the Depression as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal Programs. He is still treated like the fast forward feature on a film in which the picture does not change even after the advancement of the story. Generation after generation he’s still the same ‘put upon’ victim of big brother, do-good, social engineering. If all Americans are guaranteed equality, how is this fair? Justice has forgotten the common man.
