hi kids! it's me, your favorite sexagenarian here to tell you that when I was a kid the top tax rate was 90% and not only did our country have money for bridges and schools and moon rockets, but we had rich people too, and they had plenty of money to spend on rich people bullshit

And the average American worker had a good job with good benefits, could own a house and a car, could take a yearly vacation, could send their kids to college, and one parent could stay home with the kids and not work if they wanted.

Hang on there a minute. I grew up in that house too. But my college grad mom didn’t exactly have a choice about staying home, it was expected that she would. I don’t want to go back in time, I want to change the present so high quality child care is affordable for all.

Those days no longer exists! The rich are getting richer racing to get a seat on a jet to outerspace.
