[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 1986202, member: 24583"] I guess I am perplexed. Is not this about the time when most all of America started being prosperous and growing. People were able to work 8 hours a day/40/week and live decently. Most everyone had a job and provided for their family without handouts, worked their way up in the workforce, bought houses, nicer cars, started buying toys, some started their own businesses and employed others? I guess none of that matters and we should make sure it does not happen again because --- a few people got rich in the process of helping everyone else prosper. What an evil thing to let happen. Reminds me of a comment from a taxi driver I talked with one time as we were driving by a huge empty building at an airport. He told me he used to be union aircraft mechanic in that building and they went out on strike until his employer went bankrupt and closed the business --- "We showed them SOB's the union had power" I did not ask him how much money he makes now, driving a cab.
