A vote for a Conservative is a vote for Less Success.
A vote to reduce the Standard of Living for all Americans.

Recall 1920’s and Wall Street under Conservative control?
Recall 2000-2008 and Wall Street under Conservative control?

1. reaganonics were a trojan horse for the rich, no doubt about it, and Clinton prosperity

is partially to his credit for reinstilling consumer confidence, however, if you want to start crediting or blaming presidents for economy on their watch... look out, cause Obama will come out terrible through no fault of his own.

2. Here' my stats

1984 $3.35 / h
1988 $4.00 / h
2000 $11.00 / h
2008 $12.00 / h

All in the same industry, same work ethic, same talent.

4. Yup.

I grew up during the 80s. They weren't so great. Dismal actually. Along come Faux Noise and viola, instant Reichpublican hero and weren't those the golden years?! I mostly remember seeing the record deficits year after year and how dumb ol' Ronnie looked.

5. The thing about trickle down is that it LOOKS like it makes sense.

It is easy to explain and easy for a simple mind to digest. That is "creates jobs" by giving the rich more to invest.

and then they invest it abroad...to make more money...and stay rich...cutting out their consumer base.

6. You think Clinton now REGRETS covering up for Reagan and GHWB's crimes throughout the 90s, clarence?

Clinton's coverups for Bush1 allowed Bush2 to get into office and undo what good the internet bubble economy during the Clinton years had going for it.

Look at your list of Reagan-Bush criminals, clarence....What Dem UNCOVERED many of those crimes, and what Dem protected the secrecy and privilege of Reagan and Bush and the criminals involved?

John Kerry is responsible for pegging most of the crooks on that list. Bil Clinton is responsible for siding with the secrecy and privilege of Reagan-Bush. And YOU side with Clinton. So....you side with continuing the protection of Reagan and Bush, whether you realize it or not.
