Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.
Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.”
It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

America
Golden
Again
So that was it all along. 🙄
Eliminate consumer protections, OSHA, environmental protections, etc. , and you will have a similar scenario taking place.
Wages were also abysmal
For example, union autoworkers in Michigan would very commonly have boats and vacation homes 'up north' in northern Michigan.
Propaganda at its finest ever right now.
Got it.

There was no EPA, OSHA, FDA, CPSC, NLRB, CFPB, Education Dept, FEMA, etc.
American expansionism was in full swing
There was just 1 National Park
Women and minorities had minimal rights, and white men held all the power
Those people that donated 250 million to find evidence of a stolen election. He spent 50 found nothing . Kept the rest for himself .
Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121.
Email them through their websites.
Tell them to shout impeach, impeach, impeach!
Loudly. Daily.
While it’s still legal.
And be a big problem for the dictator all day long.
Or don’t ask for money…

Thry don't care what children want!
400,000 = 4 mil now
Tax em at 91%
Hell I’ll even say 40 million or above at 91% rather than the bs not paid now
McKinley was closer to 1850’s

What this table fail to represent is the effect of high upper bracket tax rates. The wealthy avoided paying those tax rates by keeping their income at a reasonable level. 1/2

The Oligarchs of today are wealthy beyond reasoning because of how Gov't spent their tax dollars.
Krapitalism: No planning for the future, whatsoever.

doesn't pay taxes,
Trump said,
"That makes me smart."
Can't be good
for revenues when
those who pay taxes
can't shake the feeling
they are little more than
suckers & chumps.
The wealthy were taxed around 90% in the 50s because of FDR, I believe.
When he told his friends that that's what their new tax was. They said, "We're going to leave the country. " and he said, "Well , I'm miss you."
They never left
The 1950s is when politicians did the right thing.

Our financial system is a quagmire for the poor.
This needs to STOP!
Added bonus? They teach children at a young age that one needs to work to eat.
To him that *is* the new Golden Age.
Far cry from the golden age.

Wow $79😳😳
AND racism that kept men of Color out of the higher paying (and often less dangerous) jobs.
The "golden age" was only golden for white men and, as you pointed out, only because the rich and corporations were properly taxed.
His actions will definitely bring back the Gilded age.
Don't forget the plagues.
The trade system wasn’t broken- it worked well for the entire world. tRump broke it because there’s no one as dumb as he is 😡

No, it will bring back the Gilded Age, which is the actual intention.
Loads of wealth for those that were born into the right families, and no-one else mattered?
Its just a smash and grab looting. Doesn't care what is wrecked.
FDR still haunts their ambitions.

Sidebar: if we're all manufacturing stuff and kept at low wages, who's gonna buy the massive amount of manufactured stuff??! We can't afford to and no one else will want anything of ours!
Easy Peezy
So, what is it about American-style capitalism you don't like?
Here, Dr. Reich explains why Trump's cuckoo-bananas economic fantasies and his imaginary hyper-capitalist utopia will never come to pass. Thank you, good sir! 💯👏
They are literally trying to turn the American population into serfs.
I could care less about the welfare of the MAGA crowd that voted him in. Just pathetic!
Rationalization on his grift is a worthless endeavor. Good for clicks though

are no longer in hiding.
They are in power.
The 1850’s when slavery was there and women couldn’t vote and gays were still in the closet

That would solve a lot of problems FAST!
1 person could work and keep a family. You could afford a home and you were treated with respect by your employers.
Entrepreneurs loved it, the people loved it ,the Conservatives hate it
When rich people still bought ranches and planes and yachts, but just one of each…
👉 90%-91% 👈
We need to do this again today!
It's a lot more difficult for the British economy to do this without risking Backfiring but we're not GDP#1, don't have the prestige & never will have good leverage by contrast
But yeah, blame the new guy.
He's trying to bring back the Gilded Age
