those were the days, my friends

 

Well, it would be nice, going back to the good old days when the rich paid a bit more of their share of taxes.  But I have a feeling that the "Good Old Days" the rich are dreaming of returning to were those wonderful days when they could hire us for a pittance and work us 6 to 6 and a half days a week and we would be happy to have a room under the eves or beneath the stairs.  They are wishing for the return of those happy carefree days when they could afford to have cooks, butlers, maids, gardeners and stablemen and more.  They long for the times when folks took off their hats as they passed by in their fancy carriages, and ladies flocked to their sides.  Children labored in the factories alongside their mother's.  Dad seldom saw his family in the daylight since he worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week. 

Those are the good old days they long for.  Not our good old days.  Theirs.
