Thu Nov 7, 2024, 12:15 AM

Nov 7

It especially got worse since Reagan and his gop shifting of the tax burden onto the working class. That era also legalized PACs. His increase of social security witholdings to being a flat rate from rhe first dollar with a cap enjoyed only by the well to do has hollowed out America. Bush continued it and T did it even more sadistic where taxes have been going up every odd year hitting during election year. We havent run on bread and butter issues since LBJ. our political and media class dont live in mid America and cant fathom the suffering.
