Norman Rockwell's America flourished in that time and for ME .... when I think "Make America Great Again, I think back to the 50's and early 60's labor force, factory whistles (yes, with all its pollution), and extremely well taken care of military and even the public (consolidated) school system was actually educating kids.
THAT'S why they invented Viet Nam ... too many angry young educated American kids that were threatening their power elite
Another time for THAT one.
That was also the era when top CEO’s were only being paid about 40 times what their low level workers were paid. Currently it is anywhere from 200 to 1,000 to one. It was also the era when top level taxes were far higher than today. Note in the chart that from 1940 to 1963 top level taxes were above 80% and 2/3rds of the time above 90%. The only levels as low as those we have had in recent year were in the 1920s just before the great crash.
