Friday

Ike removed a democratically elected leader and installed a Shah in IRAN so that our oil companies could claim ownership of their oil.

Every single GOP president since then has:
1. Dropped benefits for the poorest in our country
2. Dropped taxes for the wealthiest
3. Tanked the economy
4. Started a war in the middle east
5. Added heavily to our national debt
