I know that the MAGA types talked about that era with high esteem, though I suspect they felt that way for other reasons. Me, I like the idea that we were bringing in revenues and taking care of our people. There was this idea that was the role of government, promoting the welfare of the people. Crazy idea, that one.

That is what I would like to see as well.

If the wealthy like their over-sized influence on our government and its policies, they should pay for that privilege rather than having it handed to them for nothing by folks who are not aware where their best interest lies.
