is a failed experiment that must be reversed immediately to avoid civil unrest (guillotines and head baskets). We are the victims of Reagan's folly. Ishmael Reed's satirical 1982 novel The Terrible Twos takes Reagan to task for creating the imbalance we suffer today. Reed foresaw the inequity in Reagan's goal to return to a system of lords and serfs.
Elizabeth Warren would be President if we had a fair electoral system.
