50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus#RonaldReagan and #MargaretThatcher were every bit as fucked up as #JoeBiden, #DonaldTrump and today's Tory swinefuckers.
The world of #GenX's youth was dismal and polluted to a level that #GenZ today cannot even imagine, and constantly at war, with the ever present threat of nuclear bombs, to ice the cake. Unemployment was rampant, the Tories fucked up the entire welfare system, crime was astronomical compared with today, and we didn't even have #LGBT rights, yet--instead we had #AIDS.

The last #president to float the idea was #RonaldReagan; another would-be dictator.

> The documentary series "The Reagans" shows that President Ronald Reagan's roots are corruption, racism, and corporatism. Trumpism is not an anomaly but walks in the footsteps of a right-wing construct to achieve tax cuts for the rich and undoing the New Deal.

Remember when #RonaldReagan famously stood up to the #SovietUnion? "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this #wall."
It's amazing how far the #GOP has devolved since then. Instead of tearing down walls, it demands they be built. Instead of admonishing #authorization #dictators, it admires them. #Trump repeatedly promises to be one himself (but just for one day, as only the most gullible could ever foolishly believe).
That's not an earthquake. It's #Reagan spinning in his grave.

If those turn out to be inadequate, are you going to be able to validate the medical advice you get in the ER when you show up at 3AM with cholera? While you're trying to figure out the #HIPAAWaiver they stuck in your hand on the way in?
40 years ago, #RonaldReagan declared war on "#TheAdministrativeState," and "government #bureaucrats" have been the favored bogeyman of the American right ever since.

1981-90: #Nicaragua
"The United States has a long history of meddling in Nicaragua. Between 1912 and 1933, the U.S. military occupied the country.
"Between 1981 and 1986, President #RonaldReagan’s administration secretly and illegally sold arms to #Iran in order to fund #Contras, a group the #CIA had recruited and organized to fight the #socialist #Sandinista government led by #DanielOrtega. In 1986, details of the #IranContra Affair became public, resulting in congressional investigations.
"#Ortega’s Sandinista government ended in 1990 with the election of opposition candidate #VioletaChamorro as president amid reports that the United States had provided funding to help her win."

It wasn't the wrong tech, it wasn't the wrong people: it was the wrong *rules*. After all, the Apple ][+ went on sale the year #RonaldReagan hit the campaign trail. Consumer tech was the first industry born after #antitrust was dismantled, and it created the modern monopoly playbook: buying and merging with competitors. The resulting unity of purpose and anticompetitive profit margins allowed tech to capture its regulators and secure favorable court and legislative outcomes.

Insufficient credence is being given the #potus denial of involvement with #hunterbiden and his deals. Obviously #joebiden believes he wasn't involved... because he just can't recall.
It was #ronaldreagan who was the first documented president to suffer from #dementia while in office.
@swisslet
This reminds me of the way US #Republicans (at least as far back as #RonaldReagan) like to campaign with songs they have no permission to use and with lyrics they don't understand. Reagan thought #BruceSpringsteen's #BornInTheUSA was a happy patriotic anthem.
@elsantonegro@masto.aiThanks so much for the #RonaldReagan thread @Deglassco. I had never of the Bob Jones University case.

Next came #RonaldReagan, who incinerated whole libraries' worth of regulations that protected the American people from corporate predators, gutted unions and ripped out society's steering wheel and brakes and set it rolling towards extinction's cliff, whose brink we can see growing closer daily:
