Wow, where do i begin. First of all, trade protectionism is apparent in both parties. The obama administration bailed out GM.
Republicans are not necessarily free market principled either, and you're demonization of the rich is ridiculous.
In the nineteenth century we had the largest increase percentage wise of poor moving to the middle class, and middle class to rich. That was an era of smaller govt and regulation.
Ofcourse, you're going to point out a propaganda book like the Urban jungle that misrepresents the Meat packing industry issue of that time. (the meat packing industry actually lobbied for the regulation Sinclair was proposing so that the regional buisinesses in the midwest would edge out all other compe ors nation wide).. and you're prolly gonna point out the migrant workers condition in the inner cities like chicago and new york. But what you will fail to notice is that the nineteenth century was a transition from the harsh life of the agriculutural economy to the industrial one. And that life expentency grew during that time period, not declined. And that the reason why we can experiment with our bull progressive programs is because of the achievements and growth of industry of what was the largest boom period of american history.
So spare me with your free market advocacy = trade protectionism and corporate bailouts. you have no clue.

If he wants to pray, let him pray..why would I care? Soo...it's so wrong for religious people to look down on atheists, but it's cool for atheists to laugh at people who are religious? Nice hypocritical double standard.
yeah, 11 year old kids working 15 hours a day and getting their hands chopped off was a great time in America!
