Did you ever attend grade school? Your bad grammar makes you look stupid.
Did the GOP just get sandbagged by the Dems on the shutdown

Wealth for a few was skyrocketing. Home ownership rate was falling and was less than 50%. Wages were going up but it wasn't creating wealth for the working class. It was not even moving them out of poverty. Then we get to the fact that immigration was at probably the highest point in US history. Over 90% of the people in the US were living in poverty. It wasn't until after WW2 that we finally saw a thriving middle class in the US. I wonder what happened between 1890 and 1940 when it came to government policies. It would appear that it was the policies of government helping people buy homes that finally drove up the home ownership above 50% and into the 60-65%.

- Between 1860 and 1900, real worker wages rose roughly 60%–90% depending on the sector.
- Food prices fell because of mechanized agriculture.
- Clothing and goods got dramatically cheaper.
crying about the most successful era in our history not being good enough is ridiculous
what era are you proud of? the 1950? 1990? You come off as a Walter Duranty.

160 years ago was then.
ROFLMAO. Next you will be telling us that the the early 1800s were the best time for blacks.
1860-1890
90% of the US population lived in poverty by 1890.
Only about 46% of households actually owned their home in 1890. (The majority of those had no running water and home heating was not a thing.)
The average work week was 60 hours and the average household income adjusted for inflation for the bottom 90% was about $15,000 in today's dollar.
There was no such thing as vacations for the majority of the population since that was reserved for the rich. You worked 6 days a week if not 7 and if you didn't work you didn't get paid. If you got hurt on the job you didn't get paid.
Stillbirths made up 10% of the annual deaths and about 36% of children didn't survive to the age of 15.
Almost 60% of males over the age 15 had lost a wife. 29% of those 15-45 were widowed and 71%% of those over 45 were.
Death during childbirth was 17.59 per 100,000 of the total population during 1890.
The death rate for the general population was 22 per 1,000 compared to today's 9.5 per 1,000.
40% of reported deaths were under the age of 15.
30% of children didn't survive to their first birthday.
1890 was better for black people than the early 1800's
your straw man is pathetic. also - poverty rates were going down - so you are simply a retard
I see you decided to simply ignore everything that was bad about the gilded age. That is what is pathetic.
I have proven my claims are correct - poverty went down - wealth went up
you are a gas lighting shit stain pretending otherwise
You haven't proven wealth went up. You have shown wages went up. Wages are not wealth.
derp derp.......when wages go up and costs go down.........
I proved both things happened
