Excellent example of how we got from there to here. There was a time when Communists didn't come out in the open. We were a prosperous nation then, back before we became more accepting of "other" ideas that weren't contained in the Constitution.
"Other" ideas like the eight hour work day, five days a week? Vacations? Who exactly was prosperous in the nation back in those cherished days? Workers were treated like utter crap, all of us (I assume most all of us here are working class) would've been worked to early graves if it wasn't for "other" ideas and ways of thinking in our development as a nation.
So what are you talking about, unions? They weren't being infiltrated until the sixties and the Democrat party a decade after that. Unions used to concern themselves with actually helping workers instead of a socialistic political agenda who's ultimate goal is their enslavement. (See Soviet Union, Chicom, Vietnam, and Cuba.) Same could be said for the Democrat party when it was still lead by Southern Democrats instead of the idiots from up north and out west.
The American citizen's incomes and educational system were the envy of the world back then and before. Yep, that means we, as a people, were
prosperous. But then as always, government got bigger and began it's march to control of everything, in spite of the Constitution. Until we began resembling what? A communist, Government controlled, police state monitored type of country where certain people, the elite, do well and the average Joe gets shafted. That's when things started going to shit. And they will remain in the shit unless we ever go back to our roots of individual freedom and limited Government.
edit: I wanted to amend this some what. As after posting I remembered that we have our own special kind of new Democrat idiots here in Florida.
