It turned out as expected for those I charge during the 80’s and 90’s however. Labor unions on the decline, corporations paying less % in taxes with huge loop holes so some could pay nothing, trade agreements that put Americans out of work etc., etc., etc.---all aimed at a weaker middle class here and big money controlling things and the political agenda.

They had to get dressed up in their Sunday best to pick up there pay check. The union fought for a 40 hour work week at Bethlehem Steel and got it. When you grow up you will need to work 30 a hours a week in the mill." Today there is no Bethlehem Steel. A good fraction of the residents in Johnstown PA are on government assistance. The ones that are working are working longer than 40 hours making non-living wages. It did not turn out as expected. Frank Znidarsic
