$1 Trillion Given To America?s Top 1%, But Damn Those 'Welfare Queens'
Nothing we didn't already know about Reagan's all out attack on our economy and the poor but still worth a look.

30-ish years ago, Ronald Reagan set into motion the very machinery that has been used to hammer the poor and those on welfare, to a point where social safety nets are nearly a thing of the past. At the same time, that machinery created the vast income inequality that we have today, which shows no signs of ebbing.
