Under FDR the USA became in effect a socialist country and the Right-Wingers have been fighting that since then, thus Trump.
With FDR we put income taxes on the super-earners at 90%. That's where the money came from in order for the USA to become THE country on this planet. The USA was not considered the globe’s ‘main nation’ until FDR led us through WWII and then raised taxes on super-earners and created Social Security and Medicare. His same tax plan was in place when Eisenhower signed the legislation building our interstate expressway system.
We paid for a bunch of wars (good and bad ones) and JFK took us to the moon!
ALL THIS based on far higher taxes on the super-earners than we have had since the selfish fake-populist Reagan cut the taxes on the super-earners by TWO THIRDS.
The USA has gone into debt and disrepair since then. And now the FDR Haters worship a worse version of Reagan in Trump.
