Remember that time not so long ago when a middle class family - TopicsExpress



          

Remember that time not so long ago when a middle class family could afford a decent house, a new car every few years, braces and piano lessons for the kids, adequate insurance and health care, and also count on a decent pension? And that was when, in many families, only the father worked and mom stayed at home with the kids!!!! That was the day when LIBERAL ECONOMIC POLICY was in effect, when the Holy Grail was being pursued as our national economic policy. That was a very different America. Those were the times of demand-side economics... when many companies cared enough to take care of their employees and pay them well enough so they could afford to buy products. That was also back when unions were strong, taxes on the rich and corporations were far higher than today, and regulation, especially on financial institutions, was far tighter than today. ~Donna McMahan
