Old enough to remember a time.

[Oerets]

When The United States I feel was at it's zenith.


For you'all maybe not but 1969 was a high water mark for the us I feel. We landed a man on the moon, in a hot war along with a cold one. Still the country was running along.

The rich paid a much higher tax rate. Still gave to improve society. Most worked for the same company their whole career with a retirement at the end. Unions were a good thing to be in. The schools were public and considered good, didn't need silly testing to prove themselves.

Then came Tricky Dick and the GOP and their plan to improve things........
