Making Life Difficult

It seems like we’ve forgotten what makes life pleasant for the common American.

Between the end of World War II and the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, taxes on corporations and the ultra rich were very high, and those funds were invested in programs that benefited the average citizen, principally infrastructure and education.

Since that time, the top marginal tax rates on those entities have fallen from about 90% to about 30%, public education standards have fallen through the floor, and the middle class is rapidly evaporating.  40% of Americans live from paycheck to paycheck, with many people holding down two or three jobs.

All we really need to do is repeat what made this country the strongest and most powerful nation on Earth.
