Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Let me take you back to how America’s economy functioned in the 20th century. When I was a young man in the late 1950’s and 1960’s I learned about capitalism and how our country flourished throughout the early 20 th century. If a corporation declared a profit of 30 percent or more, it was considered to be one of the top corporations in America.

FREEDOM CAUCUS ATTEMPTING TO PROTECT OUR NATION’S BIGGEST CRIMINAL   I admit that I am one of millions of Ameri cans who know that Trump is guilty of all chages levied against him. I have been writing about the worst man i n the world since 2013. I know his history and nearly every crime Big Adolf has committed since his father paid for his diploma from Wharton. His life is a tale of crime and debauchery. There are reasons why Trump was shipped off to military boarding school at the age of thirt
