[quote=Anonymous]Under Eisenhower, the rich and big corporations were taxed much more appropriately than they are now (higher tax rates). CEOs weren't making astronomical salaries compared to their workers. Eisenhower tamped down out-of-control military spending and balanced it more with domestic spending. He invested in American infrastructure (interstate highway system), science, research and engineering (he founded NASA), and higher education. He passed civil rights legislation. He made many positive improvements to America. But in the last few decades, Republicans have reversed course and have gone against every single one of those things, dragging us backward.[/quote]
