Walter Mondale Raise Taxes 1984 ElectionWallDotOrg.flv

[TheJoeyzxc]

Americans are stupid people, it's time to accept that there's always going to be deficits. Attack ads work, everyone's gullible. "Obama's a socialist!" "Romney likes to fire people!"

[ColdWarWarriors]

Mondale was right, only problem was that the damage of neo conservative policies took 25 years to fully manifest themselves, Americans went along with it, kicking the debt can down the road for nearly 3 decades.

mondale meant to say he will raise taxes on the rich.rich corporations.not the poor,

[franciscojmedina]

Last Presidential candidate that had the balls to tell it like it is.

[ColdWarWarriors]

@franciscojmedina Yes he did, but got beat by a guy who told Americans 'vote for me you can have it all'

[GreatDarkSpot]

Yea, how'd that work out for you, Fritz?

[BruceAHz]

@GreatDarkSpot - I believe just about everything he predicted came true... except about Reagan raising taxes... instead, all of the negative results of NOT raising taxes came home to roost. And today, we are many times worse off after W who cut taxes and increased spending like never before.

So, yeah, Fritz was a lousy politician because he didn't lie to us to get elected.

[realityisenough]

@BruceAHz Reagan actually did raise taxes.



[BruceAHz]

@realityisenough Yup, you're right...just not right away like WM would have done. My bad.

[asterisk911]

@GreatDarkSpot Fine, actually. He didn't get the job, but he did fine-- HE wasn't the one screwed by Reagan.
