There was NO welfare ,no food stamps and there were PLENTY of JOBS ….everybody worked ….Its back to the FUTURE …The Fifty’s were the BEST years this Country ever had… ! No Freeloaders ,No excuses ,NO free FOOD , Everybody worked ! including me even every day after school and Saturday .I was 14 and paid for my own clothes,shoes,blue Jeans ,paid for my own car and insurance at 17 ….. Oh yes that 1948 Chevy with vacuum shift ..I remember it well..! haha…
Health CARE ….Dr SHAPIRO made house calls for $3.00 and a shot of Penicillin cost $5.00 including the house call fee.
A Dentist visit was $2.00 ! to get a tooth filled…. REALLY where did we go wrong ? DAD bought a two family house for $11,000 …At 17 I had $3000.00 in the BANK earning 3/14 % from my own savings ..I had saved $20.00 a week since I was 14 and still had spending money ! TAXES were almost non existent ….Thats the KEY !
