Until someone embraces the tax rates from the postwar decades I don’t want to hear anything from them about the loss of manufacturing. Until someone commits to enforcing the rule of law I don’t want to hear anything about anything from them about anything. I hate having to be this angry. I used to own a factory that employed American workers. I understand this situation more than most, obviously. And I don’t want to hear anything from anyone who supports a single one of the Republican Party’s policies on anything at all.

About 45 or 50 years ago ( yes, I'm that old!) Time magazine had an article on the computer and computer programming boom. They wrote about productivity would go way up , and employees might work only 20 hours for the same pay. And, with all that leisure time, travel and entertainment industries would boom. However, as everyone knows, that never happened. orporations pocketed the extra billiions, instead of sharing with workers. The rest is history.
