I am curious to everyone’s opinion. What would have to happen in our country for you to say “America is great again”? What needs to change for you to think the United States of America is great again?
Thanks everyone!
What made America great? What was the greatest generation as far as a financially stable middle class? I would say the Baby boomer generation. They got GI bills, affordable college, paid well, pensions, social security, medicare, unions. This baby boomer generation is now telling us we can no longer have it as good as they had it. It's a new world. The rest of the world has passed us by. US workers are too expensive and it's a done deal we make shit in Mexico and China now. And I actually agree with that. Those good old days are gone.
And if I point out today the CEO is paid better than ever, Republicans on USMB always use the argument that even if you cut the Kroger CEO's $20 million pay in half that would only mean $40 per worker if he gave it to all his employees.
But still, this is just one of the many ways the rich have waged class warfare on the middle class. This is a perfect example of why/how the gap between the rich and poor is getting wider. So Republicans, you defend the gap between rich and poor getting wider. You say there's nothing we can do about that now. Really? We can't unionize? We can't go after illegal employers who hire illegals because they are too cheap to hire Americans? We can't raise taxes on the rich to save social security?
Trump doubled the number of companies that now pay zero taxes. How about we make them pay their fair share and put that money towards social security?
There are plenty of ways to make America great again for the middle class.
If you are rich, America has never been greater.
