EPA was actually under Nixon. That’s how crazy the Trump bs is The tax rate under Eisenhower was 91% for the richest. It was JFK who started dropping it. Medicare was under LBJ it was part of the civil rights act. So pretty much everyone except for Reagan/Bus/Bush and Trump did SOMETHING for us

That was FDR. He died in 1945, never getting to see all the good he did & how great his legacy was until rich people got power back & said, no FUCK ALL YOU POOR PEOPLE WE WILL NEVER LET YOU TAX US AGAIN!

The U.S. is definitely not a champion for humanity. We've probably caused more death and destruction (foreign and domestic) than any other country in the history of humanity.

My neighbor, passes a year ago at 88, she had Polio as a young girl. As a young girl myself, I witnessed her daily pain, all those dismissive others who looked down on her as though she was of lesser value. We have lost our place in this world. No longer a worthy nation and champion for humanity.

why are you ignoring the point that the government provided good things before and have until very recently? are you so lost in your dreary fantasy that you just don’t believe the government has ever been a force for good? my god, you have it so good you dont even know.
