To be fair - it would be good to also call out the major reasons and actual people involved in this demise. For example - until 1994 Democrats held power in congress for decades. They sponsored all Neoliberal policies and globalization that brought over much of the American demise. Obama messed up when he didn't pay attention to main street hurting due to the financial crisis and all we regular people saw was these crooks getting away with thievery. When we called to get some financial help or refinance my mortgage - no help was available. This is actually true story because when I called someone started to do the budgeting for me (wanting to help me budget so I can pay the mortgage and when I realized that I was in awe). Wall Street thief's, gave each other bonuses and too big to fail became bigger. Democrats DID NOT capitalize on the anger of the Occupy Wall street movement, while Republicans (Koch brothers) financed the Tea Party which gave rise to the sentiment that working class is "bye bye" and during that time the American Dream became officially DEAD. Establishment Dems did everything to minimize Ralph Nader or Bernie Sanders for decades who were the only fighters for main street while all Dems did in the past 40 years is Obamacare (a republican plan) and don't ask, don't tell, gays in the military, LGBTQ issues, Gay marriages and or Globalization which meant less jobs here. I despise Trump and dislike Republicans - but at least you knew where they stand for while Dems lied of being on our side while they WHERE NOT!!! Until we don't dissect and spread the blame - there is no way to get credibility back from the American people....

You’re right, it is, “The Biggest Heist in American History.” Has been for generations. Americans don't want to face that they have been bamboozled, lied-to, and manipulated out of the basics of a humane standard of living. It's all in support of the plutocrats, oligarchs, and politicians. They get everything and want more. I didn't serve this country for this shit.
