Fifties were a better time. We need to return to a better Democratic Party.

79. No, I don't. I grew up working class and both parents worked. Nice slogan.

After the war, women did enter the workforce. They had been Rosy Riveters and they like it. That is a social change that started in the fifties. Why didn't have to work but they wanted to work. It was a choice that finally became a reality for all women. Except now it is no longer a choice, it is a requirement. Our economy has become so skewed to the rich that everyone now has to work to make it. With no family leave, no healthcare, and no kidcare. That's better?

And before you react to healthcare, everybody I knew - rich or poor - had healthcare. Doctors made house visits and costs were much lower. In agricultural areas, sometimes payment not in money. But healthcare didn't mean what it does today so it was different. And schools - at least in my city - had nurses in schools daily and vaccinations were given at school. And why? Because we had the money.
