how did the poorest fifth of the people live that you read about is your VAST reading of history?

Which era are you referring to? Where? The fifth Kingdom of Egypt? Italian Renaissance? Hellenistic Greece? Feudal Japan?
The quality of life of the poorest class differs very much depending on the era to which they belong.
You're trying to call me out, but I don't think you know what you're talking about or what a utopia even is.
of course I do..
The term utopia was coined from Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. The word comes from Greek: οὐ ("not") and τόπος ("place") and means "no-place", and strictly describes any non-existent society 'described in considerable detail'.
it's a literary metaphor.
Exactly. So I have to wonder, why are you making a case for utopia in America? Based on a Fox News report, no less.
