I remember this moron, from late 80s & 90s, talking on news programs. I was in my 20s and knew he was absolutely he was taking down the middle class with his bonkers Ayn Rand jibberish.

And, as proof establishment Dems and Rs are in bed together in a "unitary party" here is who appointed him Reagan, Bush, Clinton (reappointed), and George W. Bush. The fix was clearly in when Bakker and Volker put Greenspans name to Reagan initially.

This man alone, is responsible for tremendous damage to the middle class of the United States of America.

Our system is so broken.

Still waiting for Americans to unite and pick up the pitchforks.
