Cuco: Canadians have surpassed their poor southern neighbor in middle-class income growth. Eddie: Mexico? Cuco: No, us! Eddie: Well, maybe they can start buying back some of their comedians.
No. It’s a valid and pointed comment on the fact the the US is killing its middle class, and along with it any semblance of the so-called American Dream.
Since Canada is now the world’s “richest” country by surpassing the USA, they should be expected to bear the burden of providing massive aid to the developing world.
Digression alert! The US has sent “advisors” to Nigeria to help find those kidnapped girls. Where is the support from the Saudi, Iranian or other Muslim countries to combat Muslim terrorists? If these governments don’t help, they are actively supporting the violence.
That is not why. I’ve been around a long time. In the 50’s and 60’s the rich, movie stars, the “old” money, even the congress, were paying taxes at a much higher tax rate.In the 50’s they paid up to 90%, there were few who didn’t get a living wage.Moms stayed home and spent time with their kids and the man’s salary was enough to live middle class. People also got raises for working hard, and 2 week vacations. The wealthy lived quite well; the expensive cars, houses, they had swimming pools , mink coats, diamonds, the finest food, they were happy.Then greed took over. their tax rate has plummeted for the wealthy, they got into politics, stopped being philanthropists, stopped giving raises and now the very top, the 1% of the 1% buy politicians. They stopped caring about the common good which was considered your, Christian,duty to support a strong government and expected it to take care of highways, bridges, dams, national parks, and got social Security so the old didn’t have to end their lives in poverty. Now the pretend news outlet Their name starts with F,,has been telling lies so that people fear and hate the government.things became privatized,( at least it wasn’t the scary USA government) and the big rich corporations are laughing all the way to the bank..Owners like the Koch brothers, corporations like Monsanto, just to name two, have said they like to buy congress, and the others.If we don’t keep the party of the rich, buy the rich and for the rich Only,, we have fascism.
