(16,286 posts)Practically every thought we have in terms of finance has been planted by incredibly productive and successful propaganda for about 100 yrs, pretty much since the Great Depression.
Some reasonable conditions existed before Reagan began an all out war on the middle class and poor, but even they were not as good as they could have been.
But since Reagan we have an entire nation of people who are worked to death so the one percent can live like gods.
We must erase all that we think is true about pretty much everything in this area.
For instance, go with me for a second, how much sense does it make to allow one family, the same family to own Yellowstone National Park?
Extrapolate out just a little, rightwingers take control of everything, parks system dismantled and property sold off, Walton family buys the parks and for profits them and owns them FOREVER, till the end of time no person can go to the park without paying them.
This is an exaggerated situation to MAKE A POINT...and it is NOT that FAR or big of an exaggeration.
And the idea that by lowering taxes on the rich and corps will trickle down to us, dear god people, look around.
