In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Continues to Blow Minds With His Sane Tax Policies [View all]Enthusiast
(50,983 posts)16. They believe that crap but think you're evil. That's rich.
We've tried Supply Side Trickle Down®. We've tried it for decades now. It has nearly destroyed us.
And finally, so many people have been hurt by these Grover Norquist/Ronald Reagan rules of the road that their ears perk up when they hear Bernie's words.
I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. The wealthy weren't starving. They didn't feel deprived. Their job creator skills weren't lagging behind. We did things as a nation, great things. We went to the moon FFS.
The wrong people have been running this country for far too long. Time for a new team.

I hate that term "Job Creator" because it's part of the aforementioned religion....

I understand the job creator thing is the Right's most successful meme. It has no basis in reality.
