yeah grover was great president, rallied for labor unions inorder for workers to get more of a share from their greedy capatilists owners, which paved the way for the formation of the AFL.
but really look into the gilded age of the three party system with repubs demos and the rich independants. check out the depression between 93-97.
history repeates itself.....though the main diffrence between then and now?
The wealth of the period is highlighted by the American upper class' opulence, but also by the rise of American philanthropy (referred to by Andrew Carnegie as the "Gospel of Wealth") that used private money to endow thousands of colleges, hospitals, museums, academies, schools, opera houses, public libraries, symphony orchestras, and charities. John D. Rockefeller, for example, donated over $500 million to various charities, slightly over half his entire net worth.
the capatialists then wernt greedy pices of escrement.
and as far as the bail out, we stopped it, the american people protested it and shut it down.
till a week later when it magically passed.
personally i would have put requirements that the money went absolving the debt of existing student loans, and not into the pockets of the capatialists.
but thats just one of the things id do to help society. though id be interest in the quote where you claim my solution would be to absolve free market blah blah blah....
