Greenman over here stuck in the 1950s.

More like the 80s. Wages used to grow with productivity that stopped under Reagan and never really recovered to what it was before.

Greenie doing a good job demonstrating his propaganda-soaked anti-worker bias.

Take a look at the US economy from the late 1930s to the late 1970s and let me know.

It's almost like people who throw the word communism around have no idea what it actually means. It's a slur and nothing more. And I'm not even a communist.

Workers, want more money? That's a communism. People shouldn't be starving in the streets? That's a communism. People should have housing available if they want it? That's a communism. More housing should be built to bring down housing prices? That's a communism, a nazism, 4 socialisms, and 2 Marxisms.

LOL, weird. You seem to be upset. No, I don't have everything figured out, but this one wasn't a complicated nut to crack.
