So in the 1930’s when wealth inequity peaked, FDR came along with his New Deal and kept people afloat, but the wealth inequity didn’t change and the Depression/Recession wore on and on. Then in 1941 came and he levied a tax on the rich that was impressive [even oppressive] and the wealth inequity compressed. In a variety of ways, he actually redistributed the wealth and put stops in place to keep the concentration of wealth in check for the future. That’s not communism, that’s good capitalism. He put the money back in circulation to pay the working middle class – our parents – and re-established a free market economy. If the wealthy abuse the system, they get punished, as they should. At times, they’re the leaches, not the poor, draining the blood out of our economy…
