Congratulations to Reagan for creating a nation of attorneys and accountants.
I'll take that over a nation of big government bureaucrats running our lives. Funny that most Dem presidents have been lawyers, so I find it humorous that a liberal would have issues with that. Accountants are good because it means people need help managing money. Dems don't like people keeping their own money, so I'm sure they would like to trade accountants for bureaucrats who simply dole out other people's money.
Reagan hated communism and I think that is the main reason the left hated him. He did have a hand in breaking up the Soviet Union and the left refuses to give him credit simply because the majority of people know that was a good thing. Secretly, they loathe him for ending the 'pivotal experiment.' The left looks at past dictators with awe.
The tired old talking points about the evil right will always continue and the left will always point out the creation of wealth as a bad thing. Only redistribution is acceptable and too many are completely ignorant of the fact that it must be created in the private sector before government can think of stealing it. And there is an infinite amount to be created. Stop with the idiotic chatter about wealthy people taking more than their fair share and focus on policies that encourage others to create it, too.
Many small businesses began to thrive in the 80's and a lot of people did well financially and I am talking about average people who climbed the ladder of success. The left used to refer to it as the age of greed because so many "little" people amassed small fortunes.
The Federal Reserve has played a part in the economy since it's unwise conception and until it is abolished we will never fully be what we were meant to be. They tilt the playing field in favor of the real 1%, which is them and their cronies. The Republicans had nothing to do with it's creation. Woodrow Wilson was a liberal and started us down a dangerous path over 100 years ago. We can't get back on track until the damage he did is undone.
