Even Democratic admins have played the past 40 years by Ray-Guns rules.

For the most part, this country has been operating and governed by "trickle-down" economics for over 40 years.

It's not just that they didn't do better under the last 4 years of Donnie Dipshit and haven't gotten better...they have had 40+ years of trickle down, and still don't get that it was all a con.

Seriously, our only hope is that they die off before they destroy the FUCKING world.
