Indeed it does. We used to have a deal. It was called the New Deal. American capitalists hired American workers, paid decent wages due in part to unions & govt competition for workers. Mild Socialist underpinnings cemented the whole thing, creating a mixed economy where everybody shared for mutual benefit. Progressive taxes. SS. Medicare. Financial regulations. Insured deposits. Unemployment compensation. So forth & so on.
It wasn't workers who broke that deal, it was capitalists, the financial elite. The truth of it all is revealed in the explosive inequality created over the last 30 years.
Righties always sidestep & head straight for denial in the face of the most pertinent questions of all- If low taxes at the top create jobs, where the fuck are the jobs? If the so-called "Job Creators" aren't living up to their end of the bargain, why should they be pampered for not doing so? If the rest of America is called upon to sacrifice, why should they escape some of their own? Merely because they're Rich?
