    Reagan had it right...

    “How can limited government and fiscal restraint be equated with lack of compassion for the poor? How can a tax break that puts a little more money in the weekly paychecks of working people be seen as an attack on the needy? Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes—one rich, one poor—both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other? Since when do we in America accept this alien and discredited theory of social and class warfare? Since when do we in America endorse the politics of envy and division?” - Ronald Reagan, CPAC, 1982

    This footage exposes the reality of amerikan politics.
    People will do anything to get into/stay in office, regardless if they actually mean it.
    Reagan is the same guy the imperialist tactic of control known as StarWars thrived under.

    Reagan was a great President. He had convictions, and did not blow around with the political winds.

    I say we let the temporary Bush tax cuts for the rich expire and go back to the tax rates under Reagan

    Ahh yes the dribble down effects of Reaganomics. Who can forget that. Give the rich a bigger tax break and look what happens, they will in turn spend more money which will in turn create more jobs which will in turn create more minimum pay jobs! Which will in turn make the rich richer! YUP. No class warfare there. lol

    We had a similar dumb approach from our inept Conservative government with our recent budget; the wealthy got even more tax breaks and the least well-off got shafted, as usual. Like you said, 'no class warfare there'! And idiot consevatives hold Reagan up as some kind of saint to be worshipped. Well, if failure is to be worshipped they're steering the right course with Palin's recent announcement of her forthcoming 'coup'...

    How has a rich person kept money away from poor people?

    How many poor people employ workers?

    What recent budget? There has not been one yet under Obama. He doesn't believe in that sort of thing.

    See where it says 'location', top right? I was referring to Britain's last budget.

    That's a laugh. Reagan was a race-baiter who ran on the politics of cultural polarization and an appeal to racism and bigotry.
    They called it the southern strategy, also used by Nixon to woo the angry and the bitter racists and bigots who felt alienated by the LBJ's support of integration and civil rights.

    I enjoy your mentality :) It is so fun. I want to see a "neoliberal" or how you call it libertarian/conservative government in USA. I will enjoy it.

    How much money 90% of the population has to spend is not a factor in the con's Field of Dreams economics. "If you make it they will buy it."

    I'm copywriting "Field of Dreams Economics!"
