When Was Ronald Reagan Senile? When Wasn't Ronald Reagan Senile?

While spending a day in the Oval Office in 1987, the younger Reagan noticed that aides were providing his father with scripted index cards — a technique he often used when giving speeches — for phone calls lasting five minutes at most, implying signs of a failing memory. But in an interview, Mr. Reagan said it was "hard to know what to make of that" — and laughed as he said he was using similar notes in our conversation.

Not really, since the dismantling of the American Middle Class really started when Reagan fired the PATCO workers.

Oooh, looks like Ronnie got your panties in a twist about reading Marx and Lenin.

Say, if you're not a Communist, why'd you take that so personally?

Joe doesn't do proof. He thinks he's entitled to immediate and unquestioning acceptance of everything he says. And he can't tell the difference between opinion and fact.

Not required to correct your vast ignorance of economics.

See what I mean?

Naw, what has my pants in a wad is that Ronnie Reagan fired the PATCO workers and told big business that it was okay to dismantle the middle class.

Actually, he didn't. That senile old fuck (who I am ashamed I voted for- twice) just read whatever they put in front of him.

You do realize 99% of the problems we have today is because big businesses have dismantled the middle class that has served as the firewall against the socialism that has you shitting your pants, right?

I am always amused how conservatives vilify unions.

Let's be honest what happened here. Once upon a time, the private sector had good wages because of unionization or the threat of unionization. The Wealthy paid a healthy share of the taxes, as they should. There were tariffs in place that protected our industries (vital to our national defense and economy) from unfair foreign competition. You had a vibrant middle class, Mom could stay home with the kids while Dad worked, people could enjoy vacations.

Then these idiots went along with the Plutocrat's oky-dokes.

"Give up your unions, and your right to collectively bargain. We’ll recognize you for your hard work and merit. We’ll use nice sounding terms like ‘right to work’ and ‘At Will employment’ to describe this."

"Dooooooy, Oky-doke!" said the middle class.

So they find themselves working harder for less money, and eventually get put out on the street at 50 because the company can always find someone younger who'll work cheaper.

“Give up your Union Medical Plans, and go with these company Medical Plans instead!”

“Dooooy, Oky-doke”

They find themselves paying more every year for plans that cover less and less. HMO stands for Horrible Medical Options. And if they got too sick, they found they were usually the first to be let go during a downsizing.

"Give up your pensions, we'll let you get in on the Wall Street fun with something called a 401K. Then you can borrow against the value of a home you already paid off! Trust us!"

"Dooooy, Oky-Doke"

Now they find themselves with a busted 401K, an underwater mortgage in foreclosure AND no hope of ever actually retiring. Meanwhile the fat cats on Wall Street and the banks got a government bailout they paid for, and paid themselves bonuses out of it.

"Hey, hey, you know, we can get more business opportunities if we sign this free trade bill with third world rat-holes that don't have the safety, environmental and work rules we have."

"Doooooy, Oky-Doke"

And they act all surprise when the manufacturing jobs go to China, and the Customer Service jobs go to India, and when their POS Chinese made computer breaks down, they can call to Pradip… er, “Bobby” about how to fix it, but he doesn't understand English.

"Hey, let's give tax cuts to rich people!"

"Doooy, Oky-Doke!"

Oh, that means we increase taxes on working people. SUCKERS!!!

And of course, if someone might actually figure out that they’ve been had, we can distract them by talking about gay marriage, abortion, guns or some other issue that gets their blood boiling for no good reason.

The ironic thing is that the GOP has engaged in this obscene transfer of wealth, but instead of being angry at the people who perpetrated it, we are angry at the people in the unions who DIDN'T FALL FOR IT.

In short, someone burns down your house, and instead of wanting to punish the arsonist, you want them to burn down your neighbor's house instead.

"DOOOOOY, Oky-doke"

No...because I understand Marx and Lenin.

And you're dancing perfectly to their tune, Skippy.

No, guy, you really don't.

Communism doesnt' work for the same reason Capitalism doesn't.

Human Nature.

 

[Meathead]

Capitalism is human nature.

 

[JoeB131]

Capitalism is human nature.

Exactly why it needs to be limited.

Until we evolve as a species, anyway.
