I have a problem with the concept that the wealthier get wealthier,that's actually OK by me.

Remember, they have to do something with their money and usually it produces wealth for the country and sometimes even jobs. So I really don't see the down side with the wealthy getting richer. For example I know of a rich family in Key West that owns everything there is to own. What does he do with his money? He buys assets that require other people to work for him. He produces jobs,creates wealth, a tax base, I just don't see the down side. Only a jealous side.

World War 1 ended, and the Soldiers came home. The USA entered a deep Depression.

From what I have read, Harding got sick (?) and did not do much outside of reducing taxes and slashing spending.

The Economy turned around and rebounded by 1921. War Debts were paid off.

Different times demand different plans, but the Harding framework could work under a new POTUS

I don’t have a problem with the rich getting richer as long as they are providing goods or services in a market economy.

What I DO have a problem with are companies who game the tax system to get unfair advantages over competitors. I have a problem with those companies who have been sucking at the government teat, like the solar scam companies and the hedge fund investors and Wall Street brokers who are likewise gaming the system to unfair advantage. I have a problem with companies and individuals who have relied on government contracts to get rich while underpaying employees and not providing competitive goods or services. I also have a problem with crony capitalists who abuse all the above for personal gain.

There are a ton of Democrat millionaires in this country who do not deserve their wealth because it came off taxpayer backs due to unfair tax policies and government subsidies.

As Sean Hannity often says, “I never got a job from a poor man.”
