People used to have pensions,people got better wages, some could have homes now there are more people in poverty like during the crash of 1929. People were not being scammed out of homes in massive numbers.Inequality was not as bad financially as it is now.I am 47 and the damage the Reagan monster has done and republican psychopaths and their propaganda has damaged so much.I can tell the damage done I feel it everyday. I am weary yof it. I wonder how much people will take until they realize they never had to let the rich take it all until we are serfs.
