fdr ushered in the greatest era of prosperity in american history. he took over during the great depression and when he died he had transformed america into the preeminent global power and introduced the greatest standard of living and era of prosperity in american history.

companies didn't start leaving the country en mass until 30+ years after fdr died and it definitely wasn't his policies that caused that

They re-elected him three times! How much more should they have appreciated him?

They had to enact term limits because of that too!

I think a lot of people have this vision of FDR but they're not really aware of what his policies were.

When he first tried to pass a lot of his policies, the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional so he packed the courts.

His whole approach towards joblessness were public works programs. He didn't send people checks, he invented jobs that needed to be done and then gave people those jobs.

And then of course there's the whole him hiding his sickness using camera tricks and things like that out of fear that if the public knew he was partially paralyzed they might not re-elect him.

That's not to say he didn't do a lot of good. Just that I think time has smoothed over some of the wrinkles on what his presidency was actually like.

He did less good than a lot of people think he did. A lot of his policies were failures.

His reputation was mostly salvaged by the ripple effects from WWII.

this is just lazy handwaiving without basis in reality. some of his policies didn't work and some of his decisions were bad but overall he is by far the best modern president and is responsible for the greatest era of prosperity in american history.

The solution here is making it illegal for a US company to do such a thing.

Or at least putting EXTREME taxes on doing such and putting extra taxes on their US revenue.
