In my opinion, our education system is a joke. Our schools are underfunded and being attacked and undermined at every turn by religious nut jobs and historical revisionists.

I just can’t. This fucking, vile, nasty fucking year.

Mother and baby, together forever:

As terrible as this tragedy is and everyone waiting for 2017, do we really believe that 2017 will provide any relief? I mean, look who we’re swearing in as President, come January 20th.

What do you think?

Reagan’s vision was actually, “Why can’t everyone get rich like I did?” He wasn’t born rich, but was an eager audience for Randian bs once he did get some money and saw his tax bill.

Which essentially embodies all that Trump is as.a.person. That economic philosophy has been personified and it’s fucking terrifying.

It took them 37 years, but Republicans are about to fully realize Reagan’s “If you aren’t born rich, that’s tough shit and fuck you” vision he had for America.

Its one thing to be unable or unwilling the reverse tide, it is another to be the one to open the floodgates of unfettered capitalism. Don’t try put Obama under the same as Reagan, Obama may have failed to deliver on the promise of increased income equality, but the unholy monster Reagan was the one who orchestrated…

We need a stronger social safety net like the nordic countries, one that recognizes how unrealistic and/or impossible it is to make a decent life for oneself in America when you factor in healthcare, retirement, and education.

One does not have to be a commie, but one does have to be a socialist -something we all are and there is nothing wrong with it. Every country is socialist, they very nature of government is socialist. It exists on a spectrum with varying economic principals -

You lost me at taxing wealth. My wealth isn’t taxed, at all, in any way. Income is taxed. Not wealth.

Ronald Reagan was one amoral sonofabitch.

What if I don’t like what they spend it on but I still pay my taxes?

Gee, I wonder whose economic policies could have been responsible for that change.

Thank you for this, the problem is, even those of us with college degrees are stuck in low wage earning jobs, something needs to change and it might have to be the core of our political system because, goddamn I’m fed up, but could not, and would not vote for trump. He’s the anal wart of this country and in four…

Yup. If you look at average wages vs corporate income over the last 100 years, you’ll see there’s a direct relationship, until the 80's, when wages stagnated and income kept growing.
