Tornado Alley (PROG)

Wonderful, in an opinion piece by the New York Times, by an editor that has an opinion on what you want to believe. Meanwhile in my 74-year lifetime I have seen both political parties do what they do when they are in office and have lived through all of the economic shit that has happened.

All of those tax shift polices by the Republicans mean nothing to you, all of those decades of Republicans pushing back at unions, and wage growth, or raising the minimum wage mean nothing.

You get to believe what you like, and I get to sit in my office, trading my stocks, as I look back on a lifetime of having a union job for a few years and knowing I was being paid a better wage than I could get. I have worked for a few companies in my lifetime and watched jobs disappear quite quickly when the Republicans were in office.

Now I am watching my newest generation enter the workplace, they are not toiling around for $ 2,3, or even four dollars an hour like I did for so many years of my life. That was the decades of the 1960s, 1970s, and even the 1980s. Meanwhile I watched Republicans pass tax cuts like Raegen did that actually destroyed the middle class, and elevated CEO salaries.
