Ronald Reagan is to Blame, the Ultimate Lipstick on a Pig
Ronald Reagan is to Blame, the Ultimate Lipstick on a Pig
Monday, March 16. 2009

The biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression finally got the American people to think about their vote rather than just blindly accept whatever stupid conservative homilies came their way. Which has been the status quo since November 1980.

No politician or President has ever enjoyed the success that Ronald Reagen has enjoyed for doing literally nothing other than creating an all encompassing visceral hatred of the United States government.

Looking back it seems that the only reasoning for has been our acceptance of a progressive taxation system which asks the wealthy - Ronald Reagan and the GOP - to pay a higher percentage than the rest of us.

For all their screeching about less and smaller government not only did both Conservative Republicans Ronald Reagan and George W Bush administrations enlarge the government but they increased the deficit each year and more than doubled our national debt. The party of Borrow and Spend.

1. At least if you tax and spend you pay as you go.
Funny how that concept escapes many people.
