Would you agree that right wing economics are what is really destroying family values in America?

Back in the 1950's, Union membership was high and the rich paid a tax rate of 90%. These were our most prosperous times ever. A working person with no college degree could support a family of four, and pay off a mortgage faster than two working people today. These are the golden years of prosperity and values that conservatives love to talk about, they just don't realize why it used to be that way.

In the last 30 years America has taken a sharp turn to the right economically. The tax burden has been shifted away from the rich, and onto the middle class. Laws have become less favorable to Unions, resulting in a decline of Union membership and a decline in worker's wages. Tariffs on imported goods have gone down, resulting in more jobs being outsourced.

The net result of 30 years of right wing policies starting with Reagan is why half the people in the US are now poor, the top 1% make more money than the bottom 50% combined, and it takes two workers a lifetime to pay off a mortgage. The rich have it better, but everyone else has it worse.

Ever wonder why parent's aren't doing their job of being parents anymore? Maybe it's because both parents are working 40 to 60 hours a week, and then send the kids off to daycare and school.

Conservatives always think of the 1950's in the US as the golden years for family values in America.

The rich people on Wall Street have been waging war on workers for decades. This is the real cause of the decline of "family values" in America. Instead of realizing this reality, conservative blame the "liberal media" for everything that is wrong with America today.

What do you think is really destroying family values? Hollywood movies, or the Koch brother's war on workers?
