It is the answer. other countries have government for the people.
Lee Atwater came and preached trickle down to my history class in 1980. After I entered the discussion, I got to speak to the Secret Service. if you give people with power a break and it doesn’t work, you’re not going to get it back . Reagan even got caught telling them to invest overseas.
I asked about helping business instead of individuals. It did not go well . Now we have given both a break.
