This old house is an example of the migration of PBS from a poor man's station to a how-to-do for the rich. They have learned to cater to the rich because they are the big contributers. That is why we see extreme kitchens, mansions with 30 foot ceilings for a family of three, and they act like this is perfectly normal. This is all a product of the tax structure. Back in the 60s the highest tax bracket was 93%. I think it's 30% now. The rich are getting richer by making computer operating systems that are full of bugs, at the expense of the poor. I can remember when they were throwing away granite, removing cedar shingles from houses, ceramic tile from bathrooms, lowering 30-foot ceilings, carving mansions into studio apartments, etc. Now they are undoing all this. ---Anthony
