Not to even mention the trillions he stole from the social security fund and transferred to the general fund in order to hide the failure of “trickle down economics”.

I saw someone driving around with an “I Miss Reagan” bumper sticker the other day, and I wanted to shake the shit out of them.

Do you have any source material for this? I was having to explain how much of an utter failure trickle down economics was and was having some difficulty filtering through all the garbage to find any quality substantiation.

“Trickle down economics” is just a politically savvy way of saying “getting pissed on by rich people”.

In that sense, Reaganomics delivered on its promise 100%.

It used to be called “horse and sparrow”. I’ll let you figure out why.

I think tips shouldn’t exist. Restaurants and everywhere else needs to just pay a real wage. Tipping the person that walks the plate of food over to me, while the person that made the food and the plate don’t get tipped is asinine. All the places asking for tips now is asinine. Not paying taxes on what is over 2/3 of your income would be asinine as well. They already don’t report a bunch as it is. Plus, how will not paying taxes on tips factor in to social security?

Instead of making tips tax free, make tips not legal.

The Reaganization of America led directly to the worst problems we’re still still struggling with today. People argue whether it’s the guns or the mental health that leads to mass shootings? Thank Reagan for both! With a bonus of homeless people, abusive for-profit prisons, underfunded schools, weak or non-existent labor unions, wealth inequality, unsafe and overpriced air travel, what else have I missed?
