Marco Rubio's announcement speech clearly proclaimed his father's love of Franklin Delano Roosevelt not Ronald Reagan.
In Marco's speech, he repeated his often told story of his parents, seeking a better life for the family, and their move to the land of opportunity - Socialist America.
In 1956, the Rubios arrived in what was rapidly becoming a utopian paradise. College was often free, minimum wage was a living wage, health care was paid for in full by employers thanks to a 34% unionization rate, art and science were flourishing due to government investment in nature and beauty, Eisenhower signed legislation to build out a national infrastructure which employed millions with high paying union jobs. Life was good - even for Cuban immigrants.
The right-wingers timed it perfectly. They would use then abuse the socialist system that gave them the opportunity to be safe and secure, so they could eventually stab liberals in the back.
What a beautiful all-American story.
