Answer:

There are many similarities and differences, Ill go through them

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gilded Age politics centered around low management of large corporations, allowing them to make massive amounts of money and to take control over their employed by cutting their wage and accepting giant tax cuts from the U.S government. Presidents like Rutherford B. Hayes and Ulysses S. grant allowed corruption into Congress and the White House and did nothing about big business, as long as the economy was growing after the wake of The Civil War. Similarities today include Republican presidents, tax cuts for big businesses in corona virus stimulus and and mild corruption. Differences are just coming out of a war and being in massive debt.
