I'm an example of what's gone wrong with America in the last 40 years.

116. Reagan was too addled

to pull this off.

He, Reagan was just another victim of the Right Wing. During his first term he
simply listened to his "advisors", which resulted the destruction of so much in America.
Yet by the second term he fought back as hard as he could. Yet despite his effort to
turn the ship around, the Right Wing destroyed the "shadow government" by legislated
the future of Civil Servants that had began in 1920.

It should not escape our attention, as the memories are evaporating over time, that since
the election of our only four term president. Roosevelt so inflamed the Right Wing, the two
term limit was goal number one. The next main goal, was destroy Social Security by and all
means necessary. If you have been a witness of the Right Wing's unrelenting attacks on Social
Security as well as any Government Programs furthering the prosperity of American Citizens.

Another FACT to remember is that in the late 40's, corporations accounted for $1.00 for every
$0.25 contributed to the National Treasury, the General Fund made up of the taxes we paid.
Additionally the tax rate for the rich was 90%. America was awash in money which was used
to benefit every single citizen. For one example, the massive Inter State Highways connecting
every state, east, west north and south.

Now, the tax burden has been shifted. Corporations now pay $.025 (or less) to every $1.00
(or more) that citizens contribute. The tax rate in the 40's was a Progressive Tax borne of the
belief that the more you make, the more you contribute.

Clearly, the tax rate today only serves the corporations and the rich who can afford politicians
to protect and grow their massive wealth. Whereas the least amount us are not allowed to better
our lives lest we take a dollar from a rich person. Remember Trump's tax cut?

What did we get? Approximately, some say, 4% of us received a tax cut unit that expires in 2024(?)
While the rich pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars and will continue to do so, as their tax cuts
are permanent.

Reagan we just a piker.

Say, is Guantanamo available to house those crooks that refuse to comply with Federal investigations?

I think that is where they should be "housed", until we clean up yet another republican mess. And ban
them by law never to be allowed to serve in government because they have demonstrated their hatred
of any one not Rich or White..
