Here’s What The Trumpists Don’t Understand About American Greatness


I agree with the first part, but not the second.  Trying to look at the 1800's as justification for excessive government today seems to me like a poor analogy.  I also think that this is a straw man argument, because there are many myths about the "robber barons."   The second half of the 19nth century saw the greatest period of economic growth in our history.

My favorite movie critic.
