FOR YOUR INFORMATION...Our greatest moment as a nation was when we won WWII and FDR led us through that. He was an active president in that war, all the way down to strategic decisions and we won.
Republican Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon both continued and expanded the social safety net FDR built. Do you think America was born when Reagan was elected?
You have bought into the complete lie and re-writing of US and world history which has been done by Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck etc.
From 1940 to 1980 in the USA taxes on the most wealthy were between 70% and 94%. Fact, not AM-Fox-Fiction...See for yourself...*DATA LINK.
This was the most amazing period of growth and accomplishment by any nation since the ancient Greeks or the Roman Empire...During those four decades...
1. We fought WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
2. We built every major bridge and tunnel you can name and our entire inter-state highway system.
3. We went to the moon six times!
...And we paid for all of it!
What has America done since 1980 that we're so proud of as we cut taxes on the rich and watch our debt soar? Nothing. Instead, we've cut our investments in education and infrastructure and the people behind our one great private sector accomplishment (Information Technology) like Bill Gates, are begging us to go back to higher taxes on the most wealthy!
