There was a time in this country, not too long ago, when a mother could afford to raise her children at home and a father could afford to buy a nice home in a safe neighborhood, pay for his children’s college, and then retire knowing his family’s future was assured.

That world was stolen from you and replaced with one where both parents—if they’re even still married—have to work just to pay the monthly bills, owning a home is a pipe dream, a new car costs $50,000, college costs 5x that, retirement is impossible, schools teach your kids to hate you instead of teaching them to read, and the police kneel to criminals instead of arresting them.

And the crooked politicians and banksters who stole that world from you will look you dead in the eye and tell you you’re simply too stupid to understand why everything now is so much better than what it was.
