The problem is there is no objectivity. No one takes responsibility. It's always someone else's fault and the ability to make honest assessments of why business fails is thrown out the window. Until people have the internal fortitude to look at themselves - nothing will get fixed. Both sides probably had a hand in the failure of Hostess.
You have your facts, as well as your history, confused. The middle class grew in the 1940s and 50s. The 1920s was the most prosperous period for the top class, not the working class.

The 1920's created the first middle class, the 50's was IKE and he also reduced the size of government, expanding on what the 20's placed in many minds. Another common denominator of prosperity.

You don't have to apply for the job and neither do anyone in those towns, starting the bakeries back up.
