    In 1967, one Union job was enough to support a family of four with a house, a car, and money to send the kids to college. At that time, $1 million was considered a vast fortune. GOP Richard Nixon was elected in 1968.

    By 1993, ‘middle class’ meant two incomes to support a family. $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.

    The US had five terms of GOP Presidents and one term of Dem in those years.
