In the 1970s the average American worker got good benefits and could afford to own a home and a car, take a vacation every year and send their kids to college. Reaganomics ended all that.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews…

The pre- and post-Reagan US are two different worlds. It's like a house inhabited by negligent, irresponsible tenants that has been hit by black mold, termites, earthquakes, tornadoes, poltergeists, fires, floods, hailstorms, rats. Living in it is conducive to derangement.

You are a naive economic idiot. You have no idea about what you are opining. The changes that brought the American working class to its sad state started long before Reagan. Before you spew more stupidity, learn about Andrew Jackson and the 2nd Bank of the US, and also the Fed.

No jobs and higher taxes under Biden are a recipe for failure

Did it? I think it’s way more complex than that! Let’s start with the price of college education that exploded after Reaganomics! Why was that allowed to become a bubble of elitist liberal advantage at the expense of the middle class?The lower class get scholarships.

"Average"? You mean white, right? Average black families got good benefits and owned cars and houses in 1970? M, you need to filter your observations through other people's eyes.

Ronald Reagan was an entitled cry baby who joked about turning down movie roles because the taxes were too high if you were too lucky. Any real actor wouldn't never turn down movie roles because of taxes.

Reagan brought an end the American Dream.
