"I feel the need to explain something to the generation that does not remember, or never saw, a world where one person with a high school education could support a family of 5 comfortably.

"This was real. For millions of US families. It was *normal.*

"It was stolen from you."

@IAmDannyBoling I grew up in the 60s in Montreal Canada. My father, a Polish immigrant supported 6 kids, bought a decent house, Always owned a car and we took annual vacations. The beginning of the downward spiral coincided with the elections of Thatcher and Reagan. The trickle down era had begun. The gospel of Milton Friedman spread like a toxic cloud throughout business schools and governments. Unions were attacked and shrank even faster than taxes on the wealthy. That is how we got here.
@Vegematic @IAmDannyBoling The downward spiral actually began a few years earlier, but Thatcher and Reagan certainly accelerated it.
