This scam has been killing wages and enriching billionaires for decades.

The Republican Party has been running a long con on America since Reagan’s inauguration, and somehow our nation’s media has missed it – even though it was announced in The Wall Street Journal in the 1970s and the GOP has clung tenaciously to it ever since.

In fact, Republican strategist Jude Wanniski’s 1974 “Two Santa Clauses Theory” has been the main reason why the GOP has succeeded in producing our last two Republican presidents, Bush and Trump (despite losing the popular vote both times). It’s also why Reagan’s economy seemed to be “good.”

Here’s how it works, laid it out in simple summary:

How many whacks in the head and kicks in the butt do Americans need to wake up to the scam. It is no coincidence that there is now a grifter in The White House that most of the current GOP cannot stand but will tolerate for his willingness to sign whatever **** they put in front of him in exchange for their looking the other way.

It's what has midwestern middle class fools making $50K a year going around internet forums talking like gilded age barons about the "takers" and all that. Like basically half the right wing posters on this forum. It's been very successful.

Oh, thank God the Democrats were sent to earth to explain The Republicans' stupidity to them. If not for comments like this I may have been stupid enough to vote for Trump.

While I would agree that Republicans spend too much (I'd like to see a government that is a fraction of its current size), many people seem to forget who actually controls the spending! Overlay who controlled congress during most of these republican administrations and the picture is very different. Democrats complaining about spending and debt........only when THEY are out of power!

Sounds like the "fine fellow" wants to enact the violence but is frustrated it might not work.
