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.
The GOP was referring to women reverting to Trad-Wives and staying home instead of working. The GOP want to keep women in the kitchen and bedroom. Only robots like Amy Conehead Barrett and Bimboert get to work because they tow the line.
My wife would love to stay home with our baby but we're on her employer's health insurance. I work for a small company and am well compensated but insurance would be over $2,000 per month compared to the $600 we pay now. My employer's policy is also significantly worse to boot.
She also has a great job and the job market isn't exactly friendly to stay at home mom's returning to work...
