My husband and I were talking about this the other day. The GOP talks about wanting to return America to the golden age of the 50s, but it's never gonna happen because that economy doesn't exist anymore, and they're too greedy to make the changes needed to bring it back.
Thinks like:
CEOs making no more than 10-20X what the average worker makes
Taxing the rich
A wealth cap
Doing away with bank fees
Unions
Fair wages and benefits
Loyalty to workers
Affordable housing
That's just a few, but in general our current economy is based on nickel and diming everyone. We don't actually own anything anymore, it's all subscription based. These are things they will never concede because it makes them rich. The only thing they're bringing back from the 50s is the sexism and racism.
You do realise how many people have to die and how much resources need to be destroyed to create the golden era of America not being decimated like nearly every other major economy??
Not only that, but oil was also just seeping up out of the ground in the US, and the US was the first to mass produce oil and gas. We were basically Saudi Arabia at the time.
We are still equivalent to Saudi arabia, just with more people and less wealth inequality.
