(57,936 posts)Because we believe in the American dream which means a 3-bedroom house with 2 baths, and the 2 cars are to get Mom and Dad to work. Vacation houses, a bit out of our league, but a house that has enough room and running water and heat, a refrigerator, stove, a TV or a computer, near good schools, a good hospital and parks, etc. That is what America is about.
People who think that is extravagant should go live in the third world where the family has to share a two-bedroom apartment with another family.
Americans fought and organized and voted for the standard of living we enjoy today.
And now the traitors we elected in recent years are giving our standard of living away.
The traitors will not get their way. It is just a matter of time until Republican voters wise up and start supporting lilberals who oppose "free" trade. It will happen.
