@FluentInFinance George HW Bush called Trickle Down a scam. #Reaganomics
#EvenABlindSquirrel gets a nut sometimes -
Neoliberalism is the re-entrenchment of feudalism wearing the coat of democracy.

Yet another video lending more credence to the failures of #Reaganomics and the #TrickleDown economy.

@remixtures This wealth gap was created due to #Reaganomics and #Thatcherism. It has been exacerbated by all presidents since then, #Democrats and #Republicans, alike. 40+ years of #neoliberal economic policy has resulted in a wealth transfer from the poor, middle class to the millionaires and billionaires. Where #Dow and #FTSE were the gods on whose altar wealth of middle class and affordability were slaughtered in hopes of #TrickleDownEconomics.
The reckoning is over due.

Just a reminder that #cyberpunk was created specifically as a reaction to #Neo-liberal #Reaganomics and the logical conclusion to it as tech advanced. Cyberpunk has always been woke and so many people haven't a clue. Add climate change and we have an equal chance of a cyberpunk or a post -apocalypse style future, though likely a mix of both.
Its why #solarpunk is about fighting the cyberpunk villain BEFORE they destroy the planet, and cyberpunk is fighting them after. Why I view solarpunk as a very punk movement, that will be a bloody transition and not because we are violent, those scared to lose their power will be. Post-transition to #degrowth will still have its political problem, not understanding that makes it more solarcore which is cottage core plus solar panels. -
“The second Trump administration has exposed the lie of Reaganomics, as well as the rot at the heart of an administration dedicated to the idea that some people are better than others. It has also shown the ridiculous cultlike behavior of those who adhere to that idea.”

Yes, the government should feed us
What's the point of living in a society if not to care for one another?

And it’s time for those who still claim “that’s not my party” to finally admit…yes, it is.
It always has been.

They havent moved to the Centre
They moved to the right.We now have a right wing and an ultra right wing party.
There is no centrist or leftist party any more.
Even #Reaganomics would be seen as #socialism by the current #Democrats
THey spent the 20th century breaking communism, using the cover of "democracy" and freedom.
Now they are destroying centrism and freedom, revealing they were fascist all the time. -

LATE IN YEAR TWO of #Reagan's first term (Oct on 1982), #Unemployment SKYROCKETED to 10.8% as he slashed the size of gov't.
He then went on a gov't hiring binge, dramatically growing gov't just to lower unemployment. FOR YEARS afterward, #Republicans praised "#Reaganomics" for lowering unemployment to 7.2% (the lowest in his 8 years.)
I FEAR THIS IS THE PLAN OF T****'S HANDLERS. Massive firing. Massive job loss. Spike unemployment, then rehire all those people & soak up the praise. 🤦♂️

Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told.
A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.
'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

I sometimes wondered how Ronald Reagan was transformed from a Hollywood actor to the father of our neoliberal economic disaster.
I just finished listening to Ginger Strand's phenomenal biography, "The Brothers Vonnegut" which revealed that General Electric hired him as a public relations hack and then radicalized him.
Kurt and his scientist brother, Bernard, were also employed by GE for a time, but they managed to hold on to their humanity.

From 1978–2023, top CEO compensation increased 1,085%, adjusted for inflation.
The typical worker’s compensation increased 24%.
“The realized CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 290-to-1 in 2023, in stark contrast to the 21-to-1 ratio in 1965.”
Top marginal tax rate in 1978: 70%. Now: 37%.

As #Democrats struggle in #polls to surpass expectations of crazy #RWNJ rhetoric, it is important to note #Unemployment in #USA is at historic near all time low hovering around 4%. Current stats show 254,000 jobs added in September tally alone.
Remember that under right wing #GoodOlDays hero of my youth, #Reaganomics years meant radical #Republican recession leaving 10% of eligible #jobseekers #SOL.
And don't forget, when #DJT left office, the brutality beholden #UnemploymentRate was hovering at 14.8%

I agree with you 💯 %.
However, this will only happen over many Republican dead bodies.#Reagan realized this, and they have gone down this path ever since:

I guess it makes a lot of sense to remind people of 👉why this rightwing backlash happened, strategically speaking.👈
I'm therefore linking to an insightful article by #JonSchwarz from @theintercept, which I threaded:
