Put back the tax structure that was in place then, and the middle class would ALL switch sides..:)

Back then a single income supported a family,because corporations and rich people paid a LARGER share of their income in the form of taxes.

The New Deal was still rather "new" and taxation was way more progressive..

The thing that always tickles me a bit, if when republicans long for the good ole days, they always "forget" that those were the days when they paid more taxes too :)
