23 Years Ago, Lex LuGOAT Made America Great Again

[THEREALBRAND]

When Lex showed up on the U.S.S. Intrepid on July 4th and saved the U.S. from being humiliated by that evil Jap Yokozuna he single-handedly gave Americans hope for a brighter future & restored their faith in this country




Just look at how the U.S. turned around as a nation after LuGOAT body slammed Yokozuna on that fateful day in 1993:

Longest economic expansion in American history

The economy grew at an average of 4 percent per year after 1993, and had a record 115 months of economic growth.

Highest homeownership in American history

The homeownership rate increased from 64.2 percent in 1992 to 67. 7 percent, the highest rate ever.

Lowest unemployment in 30 years

Unemployment dropped from more than 7 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in November 2000. Unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics fell to the lowest rates on record, and the rate for women is the lowest in more than 40 years.

Higher incomes at all levels

After falling by nearly $2,000 between 1988 and 1992, the median family's income rose by $6,338, after adjusting for inflation, since 1993. African American family income increased even more, rising by nearly $7,000 since 1993. After years of stagnant income growth among average and lower income families, all income brackets experienced double-digit growth since 1993. The bottom 20 percent saw the largest income growth at 16.3 percent.

Lowest poverty rate in 20 years
From 1993 to 1999, the poverty rate declined from 15.1 percent to 11.8 percent— the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years. In 1999 there were 7 million fewer people in poverty than in 1993. The child poverty rate declined more than 25 percent, the poverty rates for single mothers, African Americans and the elderly dropped to their lowest levels on record, and Hispanic poverty dropped to its lowest level since 1979.

He might not have won the WWF Championship, but the Lex Express saved this nation. On this 4th of July weekend we should all take a second and thank Lex for his contributions to American history. This is the stuff they need to be teaching in schools.



Thank you Lex

[The American]

The Californian Rodney Anoai was hated nationwide and seen as a foreigner while the German Larry Pfoel was seen as a hero. It was all about race, it's always about race.

Never let cacs define themselves as American. They are Europeans, not Americans.

He wasn't good enough to have the strap. He was boring, and jingoism was dying by that point. Only a few years later, Angle was a heel for being jingoistic, as VKM finally rightfully showed that patriotism to cacness is absolutely idiotic.
