In this address, President Reagan spoke about cutting taxes and government spending as part of his economic recovery program, targeting the national debt.
Actually, it was Clinton. Clinton forced banks to give out mortguage loans to everyone, even the ones who could not afford one. Therefore, foreclosures increased and bingo, economic turmoil. Regan taxed less, allowing more spending and hiring, therefore stimulating the economy.
This is where it all began. The disparity between rich and poor in this country has rapidly grown since this moment. Reagan started the damage, but he certainly wasn't the last person to cause it. Yes his plan worked in the short term. In the long term however he damaged us for generations to come.
How did trickle down economics not work? In a nutshell, people were taxed less, allowing them to hire more and spend more, ergo stimulating the economy.
are you guys kidding? the entire platform of the Democratic Party strategy absolutely depends on the electorate being not informed, ignorant and easily swayed by emotion.
If all the electorate were intelligent and informed, the Democratic Party wouldn't stand a chance.
