care to tell us about all the things that you feel makes America such a great country?
What makes America great is that we are 300 million people that is multi-racial from any other nation in the world. All have contribute to the building of this nation from intellectual and fighting from the greatest generation.
After WWII this country advance in the modern age. Under Ike when the parties ideology was flipped flopped from today’s stance the 1% was paying their fair share in taxes and Ike took that and built up the infrastructure with the great IS highways that we have today,
Then LBJ tried to bring reason to the democrats side and the south revolted and started to flood the GOP with radicals because they felt betrayed by LBJ’s social justice talk. The same party that made the vote for the GOP who were called carpet baggers after the Civil War and since Reagan has Lincoln rolling over in his grave IMO now.
Reagan brought greed. Started the union busting with the air controllers strike that after the end of the 80s was pick upped with other left wings nuts like Newt Gringrich, But Newt worked with Clinton and even though Clinton is a SOB President of all time, America return with everyone at least well off to raise their families in a way that provided comfort. Even though the Dot.Com boom was the leading economic driver engine.
Today the flip flop and people holding a strong interest for one side is the problem. I’m called stupid for critical thinking about the Koch Brothers. But these guys are a problem. ALEC is a problem. Because as my 60 year old dad always told me is true. America is not broke and some only care through business is to stack more like a drug dealer with money that will buy everything they want but won’t bring them joy.
The problem is greed in America and not family as greed has made a vast majority now lonely and materials goods now fits the bill. And wealth over health. Like the lady in the NYC area that caused a train derailment worried about her Mercedes SUV damage still on the tracks. That car meant everything to her as status in today's greed motivated American society.
