   I always thought they wanted the 1890s again. In the 50s, the taxes on the rich were way too high for these twits. And unions were everywhere.

   That’s the problem with Republican leaders: most of them are elderly guys who want to be young again.
   Don’t they realize that Change is the only constant in the Universe?

   Liberals see change as progress and growth and happily embrace it; conservatives see change as sliding into hell in a handbasket and fear it. Liberals look forward to a brighter future; conservatives hang on to an idealized past.

   Hey, I’d take the 50’s, you’re absolutely right. Then again, I’d take the 60’s or the 70’s as well. It’s been downhill since 1979.

   …and I want Obama to take care of all the spending cuts, so I won’t have to take responsibility for ANYTHING.

   No no, in 1890 slavery was already outlawed, you need to go back a bit further…

    reps want the days of robber barrons, and the economy of the roaring 20’s. not what led up to it, and not what followed it. capitalistic societies are cyclic. We, as a nation, decided a long time ago to use a bit of socialism to insulate against the evils of unregulated, unbridled capitalism. If you want the roaring 20’s, you pay for it with the great depression.

    The “Robber Barrons” gave you Lights and electricity, Mass Transportation, Urban Centers, running water on and on…….But Dem Libs want us to live in Caves and Eat Dirt.

    ^actually the people they took advantage of gave us those things, but they certainly profited from it and facilitated making it available to all. I gather from your post, you long for the days of the robber barons again, and no doubt the triangle shirtwaist factories.

    And Unions gave you 40 hour weeks and weekends off, paid holidays, a living wage, abolished child labor and help start the ball rolling toward equal pay for the sexes. The Robber Barons wanted to keep the horse and buggy, they said that to build a highway system would bankrupt America and tax them out of existence. Andrew Carnegie said “If I die a rich man I will consider myself a failure.” Although he was not your typical rich man of his era.

    “The Robber Barons wanted to keep the horse and buggy,”………I would like to see support for that claim. Thank you.
