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

212. You do realize we can go back to the economic justice of the 50's (equalized for all)

while still maintaining the social justice gains of today?



The economics of the 50's didn't work because it excluded blacks and others, in worked in spite of excluding them. High union memberships doesn't work just for whites. High pay with good benefits doesn't work for just men. The more people included in a fair economy the more prosperous the economy is. You combine the past economics before trickle down took hold, that created the most wealthy, powerful country and middle class the world has ever seen for people of all race, gender, etc. You then add in the social justice we've gained to date including more to come, and expanded social protections such as a guarantee for quality work, health care, and education (what FDR pushed for in his second bill of rights). That is a society worth striving for. That is a government worth believing in.
