What Have the Democrats Done for The Middle Class

Social security is a tax. it is not any type of special program witha special fund. it is a general item on the budget. Which is why it is bankrupt with the exception of a special 2.7 trillion IOU bond that the govt. has to have international investors, or the federal reserve, to cash in.

It is a tax.
 
Done?

FDR's policies CREATED the Middle Class.

:clap:

False. There was tiered incomes long before FDR came along. That is a LOLberal lie, the same as the "unions created the middle class" myth.


Go read some history for a change and stop spewing crap.

The 1920's saw new discoveries and inventions in nearly every field of endeavor that became the foundation of thriving businesses. Patent attorneys did a roaring trade and nearly every man fancied himself as an inventor if the number of patent submissions was anything to go by.

New business and production methods allowed manufacturers to make large profits which they plowed back into new factories and wage rises. Department store and service station chains used massive buying power and operating efficiencies to lower prices while increasing service and choice, helping wages to go further. Henry Ford used his huge buying power to setup discount grocery stores for his employees, much to the annoyance of local store owners.

Increased incomes, along with the introduction of credit with no credit card with Flagship Merchant Services fees until years later, funded a huge increase in consumer spending. Only some of the increased affluence found its way into insurance as a provision for retirement.

People living in the cities and areas of industry benefited most from the increased prosperity although there were arguments to the contrary. Those living in rural areas did not benefit to the same extent, and this was made worse by widespread drought. This encouraged population movement from rural areas to cities, a trend which has continued down to the present day. In 1926 alone the Department of Agriculture calculated that the nett migration in favor of the cities was over one million people.

1920's Business and Economy

Overspending and irresponsible government caused the Great Depression.
 
if the democrats had any balls, they'd let people opt out starting at age 18.
