NYTimes: Conservative Economics and Income Inequality Are Literally Killing Us

[calimary]

34. Hear hear! The poison started spewing in earnest, and spreading, with the rise of ronnie.

I remember how the CON was usually the joke, the turd in the punch bowl, the one we laughed at. The Frank Burns type, in the series "M*A*S*H", for example. Comic foil and punching bag - subject of derision and ridicule. Then reagan came onstage and suddenly the CONS were gods. They very effectively turned that COMPLETELY around - with liberals now being the nation's punching bag and objects of scorn.

Thank you louis powell and your schmucky greedy imperialist antisocial goddamn Powell Memo. I put a link to it in my sig line (along with those TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers), cuz I do tend to post quite often here and those resources should be as easy as possible to find.

I hope I live to see the day when that curse has, hopefully, finally been UNDONE.
