It's not a matter of dictating, it's a matter of making sure there is a

safety net for those in need, and ways for lower income Americans to do

better for themselves and their families. To name a few:



eight hour work day

Dreamed up by Robert Owen (communist) But actually implemented by Henry Ford (Republican)

end of dangerous child labor

minimum wage

social security

support for free public schools

unemployment insurance

OSHA Richard Nixon created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)


Access to decent health care



There are dozens of these. I am hard-pressed to think of any Republican

accomplishments in the last century or so that strengthened the social

safety net of those in lower income groups.
