They spent those 50 years convincing half the voting population that evidence doesn’t matter, unfortunately.
Good old degradation of public school standards.
Combined with 24 hour propaganda on “news” nwtworks
Public school funding can’t be used to fuel the military industrial complex.
Not without a little imagination.
This one’s going places!
Oh no … it did work … it worked spectacularly … for the top wealthiest people in the world
They figured out that they could cut the amount of taxes they had to pay, collect even more wealth for themselves and convince everyone around them and all the poor people out there like you and me that it was all perfectly acceptable, and sensible and that we should all keep electing government officials to keep that system going while we all paid for it. The wealthiest figured out how they could keep their money and make us all pay for it. And they did it for 50 years. And they’re still doing it.
I think it worked fantastic … for them.
We just need to be more patient and tax-cut the wealthy even harder. Then it’ll properly start to trickle. Just a little longer
I think I can feel it. It’s warm. And… smells a bit like asparagus?
I agree … but the problem is … it took 50 years for us to get to this point and it will probably take 50 years or longer to get it back to a manageable level again. That is, if we take 50 years of consistently pushing back against the wealthy in the same way that the wealthy have been pressing the poor for the past 50 years.
Lina Khan (in the US) is taking those first steps. Harris better keep her in place.
How about we try some trickle up economics for a while? That’s where you give money to people who actually need it, and let businesses compete for them as customers, and the revenue will trickle up to successful companies.
Might as well, right?
We did. Brought to you by Roosevelt.

The biggest criticism is hilarious. They say poor people don’t use the money responsibly. It just passes right through their hands. They neglect to mention that’s because they’re buying needed goods and services and that money trickles up far more reliably than money trickles down.
It just passes right through their hands
Plus a general illiteracy for economics where that should be the goal because the economy grows with money spent, not money saved
My personal theory is they’re also trying to normalize the money not moving into the economy.
It’s almost like you can have a monetary system and trade without all the crony klepto bullshit of the current system.
This will never stop being funny
At least he’s getting his.
As long as he said sorry to God before he died and meant it, in Christianity, he’s in heaven.
Same goes for Hitler, if he meant it.
If you have a problem with that, no matter how perfect a person you might be, you’ll be in hell instead because, ultimately, it doesn’t matter how bad of a person you are or what sins you’ve committed.
Only one thing matters.
If heaven exists, it’ll be full of people like Reagan. You’ll be spending eternity with right wing Christian Conservatives and much, much worse.
Meanwhile hell will have all the drinkers, the stoners, the ravers, revelers and rascals; it’ll have all the gay people, the hippies and every alternative culture you can think of. Hell will have all the promiscuous people, the people who just love sex and the professionals too. We’ll have all the people who know how to make drugs, the fun ones, and we’ll have none of those judgmental life-haters around, either as they’ll all be in heaven.
Were gonna have a wicked time. Reagan won’t be welcome, no matter who’s arsehole he’s got his tongue up.
Sorry, I just ran with it. Its not really at you.
Heaven for the climate, hell for the company
Total absolution isn’t actually a thing in most forms of Christianity except via baptism.
And baptism can’t be done twice. It’s a one time thing, after that you’re expected to actually live as if you believe. Charity and not sinning and shit.
Basically you have to try to live like Fred Rogers.
Jesus was very clear about that in the one time he talked about eternal punishment.
It was the part welcoming immigrants, feeding the poor, and visiting the prisoners.
Also the part about not being a hypocrite praying loudly in the street, but being devote and praying in the quiet of your home.
But that’s regular Jesus. Not Supply Side Jesus.
Supply Side Jesus can be bribed, so list your local church in your will for instant absolution.
You’ll have to let me know what part of the bible says that because its not in any parts that I read.
While baptism itself is in the bible, baptism absolving sin is something made up centuries later, so that churches could have some of that old school shaman ritual stuff they didnt have any of.
More so, the only opposing view to the one above would be the Catholic one and their interpretation is problematic at best.
People really need to check the fine-print on that particular covenant.
