When America Was 'Great,' Taxes Were High, Unions Strong, and Government Big

It's worth noting that Trump has also in the past supported an extra tax for the rich, and he currently seems to support universal health care. Not all of his policies are quite as insane as the image he clearly wants to project.

yes and let's dig a little deeper, about how the perpetuation of union activities basically sunk and drove out companies and killed cities and towns as a result. See Detroit and East St. Louis for details.
