Are we ever going to see a return to high playing plant jobs with pension plans, $35 an hour, and double time overtime pay.?

My dad, uncle and grandfather worked those types of jobs seen above. Along with many millions of Americans, if not many more throughout the 20th century. It was a pro American job. These folks were building America.

Now today the country is almost entirely different. You have a bunch of stay at home dads. Female headed households. Households with a single woman raising four or five kids especially in the inner cities. It wasn’t like this in the 1950s even the 1970s.

Those types of pictures above represented the bulk of middle-class jobs. You can of course throw in truck drivers Perhaps carpenters as well but people know what I’m talking about here. These were the bulk of the middle-class jobs.

So what is it going to be as we dive into the 21st-century. is the American middle-class going to continue to get worse and worse? Under Joe Biden we’ve seen a doubling in the average cost of a home, and a triple in interest rates on loan, compared to what it was under Trump. The middle class has been struggling for decades, but under Joe Biden it got hit really bad.

Is Joe Biden going to give us a better middle class. That’s an honest and open question to Biden and Trump supporters. What do you think? Do we need Donald Trump back?

Or is there going to be some kind of a great CEO like another Henry Ford or Rockefeller that leads the way.??

No. How in hell do you think American carmakers can compete with foreign companies if they have to pay these kinds of labor costs?
Biden is cramming mass volumes of 'climate' regulations down the throats of US automakers and consumers that gut our ability to be competitive and gift the auto market to China and their slave labor.

In order to have a "better" middle class we are going to need a redistribution of wealth in this country.
You ok with that?
Reaganomics was responsible for the vanishing middle class in America.
Trickle-down-economics hasn't worked, but it was never intended to.
It has resulted in all of the nation's wealth being siphoned out of the economy into the offshore bank accounts of the super wealthy....so all we've got now are two classes....the rich and the poor.
Donald Trump's tax cuts made the problem WORSE, not better.

Democrats have sold Americans out to the WEF. High paying jobs aren't part of the great reset.

Good jobs will return to America when democrats leave.

Then what do you think is the future of the American middle-class if you believe that to be the case? in a country of over 330 million people.

Is there going to be a new sector for the American middle class. In the past it was steel and Auto. What will it be in the future if anything?

If one looks at the rise of the American middle-class in the 20th century, there was no re-distribution of wealth. If what you’re trying to say is for example there should be some kind of a scheme to take money from rich peoples bank accounts, and give it to poor people. That wasn’t done in the 20th century. That seems to be anti-American. But maybe you’re saying something else?

Well under Donald Trump, we had lower prices, a much lower cost-of-living compared to today. That’s the bottom line there. It seems like Biden supporters won’t admit to that or they try and play some kind of word game.

It seems like we need better CEOs and visionaries of today like we had in the early middle 20th century in the USA. And it might take innovation the creation of some kind of a new sector that can then takeoff and provide jobs to millions of Americans. What we had in the 20th century was the rise of the auto and steel industry and a vision of auto makers to create automobiles for Americans that could be driven all over the country. Steel was used to build our skyscrapers and Bridges.

And one idea of Henry Ford was that his car would be affordable for the working man. That made him billions of dollars but it also put money into the American economy.

When’s the last time you heard of some grand building project in the USA? Seems like we need to build more skyscrapers, public libraries put people to work. Make this country look beautiful again. Get rid of the graffiti and vandalism all over the streets.

It ain't the president who gives you the job it's you, try being a self employed tradesman and you will earn more than thirty five dollars an hour.
 
$35 per hour isn't all that much. Painters here make $65 to $75 per hour.
Depends on the area. With overtime pay or double time pay folks could be making 50 or 70 dollars an hour. This was the case with most plant jobs in the 20th century that employed millions of Americans. They’re overtime pay allowed them to send their kids to college and go on nice vacations. They also had nice pensions. They were building the roads, the bridges, the automobiles, and the buildings We see to this very day all over the country.

Well I read that UPS workers are making over $40 an hour in some areas of the country. Other than that, I haven’t heard much about middle-class jobs to be found across the country. Unless you’re talking about some kind of a skilled trade.

But that job is not for everybody. And it’s not sly in the same demand as what we had in 1950 where are you had one plant that employed 40,000 people. Hell there was one plant in Detroit that employed 200,000 people at one time. Wow This country used to be great
