Sounds nice Jet, but the facts inconveniently do not fit.
In the last 30 years, the Real wage of the American working man has remained basically static. Yes, we know the Rich have got a lot richer.
In that same 30 year period, wages and quality of life in these 'Socialist countries
' of France and Britain have leapfrogged the US- to the point where the minimum wage of a Brit is now roughly double that of a Yank, and average household wealth considerably higher. But of course- thats not the governments fault.
Sorry, but the average American has gotten a raw deal from the republicans.
