Before Trump I think that Reagan is the worst president that happened to America. I was lucky enough to be a union firefighter in a blue state and made decent money. We have a special needs son and my wife was able to stay home with him. If I didn't have a union job we could not have done that.

Joined the work force in 1973 after H.S. ...So my whole life has been affected by this GQP B.S. .... 40 million just to "fight" his crimes in court ...Think of how much good that $$$ could do in Hawaii ..

My father was a small business owner. He bought a 3 bedroom brick house, car, swimming pool membership and we had food, clothes and went to the movies and ate out once a week. I miss these times.

I whole-heartedly agree with you Thom, thanks for standing up to the Oligarchy. The amount of Capital one requires to do a "Start-Up" is massive. There are some service jobs which one can "Boot Strap" one's efforts. We need to continue to fight the good fight!

I'm all for universal basic income as long as it comes with protections.
we need regulations to ensure that the price of everything doesn't go up just because we have an extra $1, 000 a month, or whatever it will be.

I was born in 1970 and you have put a lot of the pieces of the puzzle together for me about what’s going on and what went on… It’s crazy fascinating and sad

[stephshufelt]

I agree with you! It is extremely detrimental to communities to have large swaths of the population struggling to survive. I don't blame the ones who have given up. The "American Dream" has been killed by end stage capitalism.

I grew up middle class. My dad dug ditches for a living working at the natural gas Co. We went to the ritzy school district cuz of our address. We bought a home, took yearly summer vacations, had 2 cars, could go to doctor or dentist without going into debt, etc. The business owners & management lived in same neighborhoods as we did.
I watched shite going to hell starting in mid 70's as I neared voting age. All of a sudden we needed that 2nd income to survive. And it just keeps getting worse. I like the idea of SS for everyone to help close that large gap between them & the rest of us.

Corporate culture has destroyed many countries, not just the US. However, we were for the most part complicit in this destruction. Rather than pay the local business $10 enmasse we went to Walmart (example) to buy the item for $8. Might not seem like much but that $2 we saved cost us our culture, our safety, our security, good jobs, a middle class, the ability to own a home. Yes, corporations destroyed our future but we aided and abetted them all the way and in most places we still are.

Hello, Thom. I spent my child hood in Grand Ledge. When we graduated G.M. was paying 20.00 plus, with full benefits and a thirty and out, including medical and pension, contract. Reagan's union busting forever changed that. After my husband was killed in combat in Vietnam, his death granted me a "guaranteed income" and health insurance for my daughters and myself. Provided I did not remarry. As if. I moved to the Willamette Valley five years later leaving Michigan forever. I am happy to be in this beautiful valley, I own my home and my granddaughter will always have a home.

It iss always good to hear your thoughts Thom...

Thank you...

Our country is being destroyed by the end of the New Deesl era. We no longer have communities. Nearly all our small businesses sre gone. Pur country is deeply divided. We have more income and wealth inequality in our history. There is so much anger it's leading to political violence as well as other violence.

[christinavuyk]

There’s going to have to be something like this or it’s going to be a massacre of the poor 😕

[theodoredesmarais]

Absolutely !! I'm for Trump.... For Prison 2024, we have a long way to Universal Income, and we are on the way.

[willjoful]

You have to blame the republicans and those who love voting for the republicans.

[stewartmeyers]

Rather than guaranteeing a basic income, why don't we require returning all those exported jobs back to the USA???

[heronimousbrapson]

It's not just the US either. The economic woes faced by people in the UK are a legacy of the policies put in place by Margaret Thatcher, and continue to this day. The economic dofficulties faced by the British people were arguably one of the factors leadiing to a vote in favor of Brexit in 2016, which has only made their problems worse.

[yuki-sakurakawa]

Sir:

Just to clarify, Universal Basic income is not what you described ("if you make below..."). Its universal, regardless if you make $8, 000 per year or $8.9 million per year. Its liked by many on both the right and left because of its simplicity, reduction of admin and bureacracy (eg no means testing), and it treats everyone equally.

[luisdavidllense]

I am sharing this video with all the boomers I know. A lot of them look back at the Reagan years with a sort of glee that can be described as fanatical. 'Hope they are willing to lend you their ears.

My Dad bought a set of Encyclopedia for me and my three siblings. He wanted to make sure we could go to college by reading the books.
