My grandfather worked in a bread factory his entire life. He was able to buy a house in a suburb 20 minutes north of New York City at the age of 28. His wife did nothing. He had 2 kids. Paying people with those jobs that kind of money is now known as "Socialism". How did your grandfather live?

His father was a violent drunk alcoholic sharecropperHe left home and joined the Army as soon as he couldDid a tour in the Pacific that he didn't like to talk aboutCame home, bounced from town to town for a while, met my grandmother, settled down and got a job surveying swampland for the state highway commission when the interstate was coming through, bought a house through the GI bill, raised four sonsHe was a tough old bastard but he was kind and gentle to all of his grandkids. I miss that old man like you wouldn't believe even 20 years after he died
>>522599971America wasn't a "socialist" society in the 1950s, it was just a country with a much more sound and powerful currency than it has today. If you want socialism, the government has never been bigger than it is now, so how is that working out for you?
Born and died in poverty in Eastern Kentucky. Had PTSD from Vietnam and was an alcoholic and pill popper.
