(12,233 posts)when 1 person working could take care of family needs... You know the great expansion due to the Govt investing in people coming back from war with college and low interest rates for homes... When Unions were stronger... There was a higher tax rate on the Uber wealthy... And manufacturing was strong...
But like ALL fantasies of the 50's, it was generally good for white men; not so much if you were "different", as in gay, black, different religion, different color. Our historic nostalgia for the "good times" are, in general, just that, nostalgia for this weird Leave It To Beaver type of time period... Where Daddy Knows Best and IS the Boss.
Mitt is out of touch with everyone in the real world. He was completely insulated from the real world from the time e was born; that he was special and more important than anyone else. Mr. 1% his entire life; and a sociopath at the same time... He has no desire to learn or empathize; he expects to tell people what to do, and they say ok, Sir. He's not used to being questioned by anyone; especially not those whom he feels are beneath him; even the President of the Unites States.
I honestly half expected Mitt to say something snarling and calling him and Uppity N***er last night. I could mentally hear him saying it in his head with those totally cold cutting stares he was giving Obama... Seriously, he told our President to sit down and shut up... He's a total asshole. I though looking at Bush was bad; he's even worse!
