Why is it so hard to solve the problems facing America, is really is not hard..

Last night I watched the Democratic Presidential Debate, and I cannot figure out why it is so hard for even these candidates to come up with real answers and solutions to the problems facing America. It seems that all of them still don't want to really commit themselves, to givig us the answers to real questions, like, how to fix the healthcare crisis in this country, or the totally outdated Income Tax System, or the Irag war. Before I go on with my answers to these and other problems, let me take a moment to digress a bit... I am a 61 yr. old man, who remembers what it was like say back in the 60's and 70's. Bavk then just as it was in the 50's too, the average household only had one bread winner.... Back in the 60's and 70's most people owned a home, had a car, maybe two, or a small boat, had all the appliances, and a big t.v., or two. Mom was home to get the kids off to school, or to watch them, if they did not go to school yet. She was there to give them guidance, to make sure they were safe, and usually prepared supper for all. the husband, the breadwinner, would come home, and they would sit around the table, and have supper together, then usually would relax watching nice family shows, or maybe go out play some ball, or something similar.... Where have those days gone, and why? Back then, this country and the poeple in it, made all the things we needed and wanted. We manufactured, all the appliances, all the cars, all the clothes, all the shoes, all the toys, all of the things we allowed the companies to ship overseas, and the reason for this, I do not understand. We were told, it got to be too expensive, well we did it for over 190 yrs, just fine, we made all the stuff, and we could afford it to, and most of us, were doing just fine.... Oh occasionally, if we really wanted something quite expensive, like a new car, or a pool or something like that, dad would have to get a 2nd part-time job, for a while, or mom would get one.... but we all lived quite well, for middle Americans. Those days have gone, the way of most of the things we grew up with and learned... I remember myself for example, at the age of 20, buying my first brand new car, and paying cash for it, yes rathrer unusual, but I did it... The cost for this brand new 1967 Chevelle Malibu super sport with a 350 engine was only $3300 that included taxes . Now that same vehicle costs about 8 to 10 times that much.....and yet the minimum wage had only gone up about 3 times from back then.....Why is that? I think the answer is contained in one word....Greed. The greed of the American companies to get more profit out of their products. Except for the Automobile companies, which allowed their workers to be making far too much money for what they did, and also gave them fantastic benefits.....and not keeping up with the times, and making vehicles that could really compete with the imports, that were coming into this country, back in the 70's and 80's; well that was sheer stupidity. There is no excuse for what has happened to the rest of the Industry, and manufacturing that this country use to have, whick made better products, and reasonabley priced, that most of us could afford.....We stood by and allowed the big shots at the top of these companies to real fantastic profits, at the expense of the American worker, and we are all still paying for that today. Look at the airlines, gone is Pan American, the founding airline, gone is TWA, and others, why, there was no need for that, but poor management, and greed. Look what they did at American Airlines, and others, they gave wage cuts, to them, stole their benefits, and yet the one at the top get plenty of the cream anyway.. This is true throughout the business world, whether it is a profit or non profit business, the workers do not get a fair share, yet the guys at the top, make fantastic salaries, and get even more fantastic bonuses.....why is that?
