  • Plenty of jobs with just a high school education and you could support a family on one paycheck.

  • Oh my heavens, today we're taught by our public schools that all these people that have businesses and provide services and products are EVIL SINFUL CAPITALISTS that are ruining society with their GREED and PROFITS. Meanwhile, the biggest corporation of all - the US Federal Government - tells us how wonderful they are and how they need all of our money to waste on program after program that have already been proven as failures.

  • AT 6 minutes that policeman littered! Citation! Citation!

  • those were the days when america dominated the world, the economy, morals, and patriotism was very high after ww2 and the rest of the world like china and russia were not competing with america like they are today. if you took out the racism, sexism, and homophobia it would be so perfect to live in america

  • @inkey2 Disney already created it. It's called Celebration, FL.

  • The Whores work all night so richards father comes home sober

  • the good old day when people didn't piss their pants over a cigarette.

  • @silverstream27 I am firmly of the belief that if the Vietnam War & the Kennedy assasination never happened the mindset of the 1950s would have just continued through the 1960s. The war & the death of president kennedy is what caused it to ....as you said.... "unravel from the inside". Those two events led Americans to not trust their government and a deep mistrust smoldered till it reached a flash point in the 60s.....it triggered a number of non war movements as well
