Another reason to hate Ronald Reagan

Not that I needed another one.

Seems that one of the crucial steps in the now thirty years war lead by wealthy elites and Corporate America on the working class that lead us to the point we're at now wherein we're seriously fucked financially, was making Americans hate their government.  As in, if they hate it they won't mind it not being funded, even though that funding generally helped the poor and the middle class.  And guess who benefitted?  Rich folks! As in, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.

Leading the charge for this was all around nitwit and second rate Hollywood actor, Ronald Reagan, and his government isn't the solution, it's the problem bullshit.  The Reagan Devolution has decimated the middle class and led to more Americans (especially children) living in poverty than when that pesky old government actually funded programs that helped actual Americans.

As one who lived though Reagan/s election, I can't begin to tell you how much I wish I had a time machine and could go back in time to show Americans what thirty years of Reagan's scorched earth economic policy has wrought upon the working class.  And for all his faults, Jimmy Carter could have changed all of that.

With two weeks to go until this years mid-term elections (November 4th!), anyone believing their local and state elections are a choice between tweedledee and tweedledum is sorely mistaken.  Elections, to quote Joe Biden, are a big fucking deal.

And it can be the difference between a strong middle class and a country that cares about its poor, and the crumbling middle class and the war on the poor that the Reagan Devolution gave us.
