Growing up, during the #Reagan, #Bush, and #Clinton presidencies, I was taught that we were living in an enlightened society.
We are actually living in a repeat of the excesses of the #GildedAge. The #poor are again suffering for the #rich.
This was exacerbated by Reagan and Bush with their #TrickleDownEconomics born from flawed reasoning. The rich will NEVER redistribute their wealth.
The question is if and when we'll ever see a repeat of the #ProgressiveEra. I hope I see it in my lifetime.
