As usual, I appear to be missing something. Some facts that support the cry by the Republican party against the concept of raising the minimum wage for workers who now earn less than 15 thousand dollars for a full year’s worth of work. I need some facts which make it okay that the gap between the rich and the poor and middle class continues to grow wider and wider. I need facts that downplay the claims by knowledgeable economists that during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s when tax bracket rates for the rich were more than twice as high as they now are, America, and especially America’s middle class did extremely well even as the rich remained wealthy.
I thought we in America were a community. I thought we were in it for the long run. I thought we were a mixture of capitalism with threads of “we the people” attached to our system so that our “we the people” government, could on occasion, be counted on to help our nation stay on course so that all of us, the rich, the poor and the all in between, would have the chance, the opportunity, to do well.
I appear to be missing something, but I believe the truth is, we as a nation need to get back to our basics. We are, after all is said and done, a "We The People" nation. We are in this together.
