In Dickens’ England:

• There were no income taxes.
• There were no unions.
• There were no laws to protect employees.
• There were no environmental protection laws.
• There was no meat or food inspection. It was perfectly ok to adulterate food and beer.
• Children worked in mines.
• There was no social safety net.
• There was no public sanitation.
• There were no product safety laws.
• The drinking water was contaminated.
• Only children of the wealthy went to school.
• Religious fanatics forced their views on others.
• If you wanted police protection or someone to put out a fire, you had to hire them privately.

That was Republican heaven. That is where the Republicans are trying to take the USA.
