To what? I have to scratch my head every time I heard statements like those? Why do you want to bring this country back to slavery and Jim Crow? Do you realize that this country was founded on principles that only benefited the elite? Women weren't allowed to vote. Blacks weren't considered humans.

How about not going back that far,just pre Reagan era where one income families could make a decent living
You should really consider changing your username if these are the type threads you are going to start.

If you have to ask, you will never know. Most of the best stuff in the world was made or designed by us at one time. A time where if you weren't the college type, or didn't have the money to go, you could still get a job that paid well. If a tycoon got out of line, he found a group of men waiting for him outside to "adjust" his attitude. He valued their hard work and efforts just as much as his own. Forget the cruise with 2k bottles of wine and lobster by the moonlight. He hosted a company picnic that had steaks, burgers and BBQ ribs for his employees. In turn, the employees would be driven to perform for him and may even die trying. He wasn't whispered about in the bathroom as the ****. His products were some of the finest things ever crafted and still praised items today. That's just for starters.

Blacks were never not considered human. Where did you hear that?

--Treat the native peoples of North America as equals and build a country with them together.
--Never allow slavery on the North American continent.
--Do not allow Admiral Perry to force relations upon the Japanese. The Pacific War never happens, no rape of Nanking and Hitler probably never declares war on the US. The US remains an agricultural and isolationist country. The Military-Industrial complex never arrises. Today we have a country much like Australia except more free. We cooperate with Great Britain for defense needs but have a very small military force ourselves. We are a wealth nation with very little debt.
--Adopt a listen first, shoot last foreign policy.

Yes, backed up by a union!

Not out of his pocket.
A lot did die, due to lack of workplace safety laws.
