Yeah, 1909, those were the days. No Unions, low taxes, none of these pesky safety and environmental regulations. No Social Security taxes. Lower health care costs. A robber baron could keep almost all his profits! Life was grand!
Right, it was a lot harder for the stupid, undisciplined (drink?) and untalented before mooching became institutionalized. The left did great job of subverting our founding principiles.
I guess the real Americans (descendents of the original English colonists) became too lax. They let in too many immigrants from places where foreign collectivist philosophies prevail.
Quite the opposite, my friend. The Reagan revolution would have never been possible without the influx of immigrants from places like Eastern Europe and Cuba. Those people had experienced socialist "progressive" ideas in practice and were, therefore, naturally drawn to the political philosophy based on ideas such as individual responsibility and capitalism. On the other hand, the baby boomer generation, largely consisting of "pure" Americans of Anglo or German ethnic background along with some Italians and other western European ethnicities was completely in love with communism, resulting in such wonders as Jimmy Carter and George McGovern.
Don't believe me? Look at all those old farts controlling liberal institutions like the Democratic party or departments of gender studies and humanities in general at the collages and universities. You won't find any immigrants among them.
