Trickle down economics...

That’s not what happened.

I think women's equality was a big step backwards. The idea was good, but the implementation was off. Instead of using it to improve life for everyone, it was used to expand and exploit the workforce and put financial sustainability beyond the reach of many.

No $200 cable bill, $100 cell phone bill, no play stations, kids used parents car, parents didn't buy them one. State college tuition $4,500 per year. People today spend so much more money

The reason we were thriving in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s was because we made American products and we bought American products. Textiles, Furniture, Automobiles, just to name a few we dominated the market. People wanted cheaper products buying less and less American.

Higher Ed Act 1965 got fed govt more entangled in college loans. Result colleges systematically raised tuition. Govt spending / regulations / taxes raised business costs so less $ for salaries etc. In 1960s staying at home consider “anti-feminism.” Remember?

No, the problem is we are all taxed too much. Income tax, property tax, payroll tax, extra taxes on gas, they tax the food we eat, our garbage pickup, electricity, water, sewer, phone service, internet service, we have to pay for medical insurance now, car insurance. Etc etc

If we tax them, how long before they reverse it as they have already done in history? At what point do we say enough is enough and fix this system and our society for good? #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy

Exactly Marianne. You have the voice of #compassion. I thought 💭 you were the best asset in the Democratic Party. 👏👏👏🇺🇸

I agree 100! ... Yes ... in the 1970's there really was a middle class!
