A whole book can be written about this
I'll be brief
Economic Decay
Corporate raiding in the 80's
Political Decay
Deregulation in the 1980's
Spiritual Decay
State Lotteries soared into the multi-millions in the 1980's
Heaven was replaced by winning number
a New breed of yuppie Preachers evangelized to vast well-heeled congregations assuring them that it was okay to be rich
excess was okay
God loved his children
He wanted each and every one of us
to enjoy all the benefits the planet had to offer
by the end of the 80's
with BS coming from all major directions
I had enough
I took my kids out of godless capitalistic indoctrinated consumer centers
and headed for the desert
since then
watched society and the planet go to hell
in a hand basket
today everybody is a self-righteous pundit
pointing fingers at everybody but themselves
1980-1988: Pres. Ronald Reagan
1988-1992: Pres. George Bush
In only 12 years, the radical agenda of corporatist enablers has irreversibly changed this country from one with a middle class to a new Gilded Age, where the wealthy have purchased the government and write the rules.
I am surprised you go on the internet but from your post it seems you want to preach yourself.Go to the dessert in search of solitude and the light. Same sermon heard mnay times i the past.

yes buster
I am talking to you
Late 60's and 70's were worse. The godless horde made great gains. The religious right at least made a little headway back in the 80's, and of course, we had solid leadership for much of it with Reagan and Bush.
The 1980s was the start of the corporate elite running America.
Absolutely. Reagan was the father of reigning in fascism on america (that's why the far right wing goons are programmed to worship him like the 2nd coming of christ)
Now here comes Romney
and his compassion for the 47%
get the slaves back to the salt mines at minimum wages
let the elite bank the profits (off shore) from the common effort
evolution in retrograde
