Reagan on Socialized Healthcare

[Sinatra]

Spoken by a great and wise man some 60 years ago…

“…Behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom we have known in this country until one day, as Norman Thomas said, we will awake to find we have socialism…we will tell our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.”

The same great man that doubled our debt?
The same great man than increased SS withholding far beyond what was needed so congress could spend the surplus?

Lebanon

Grenanda

Iran-Contra


Reagen had no problem with the US government invading every area...


BTW, we were already socialist under Reagen. Anyone who knows what socialism is (socio-economic stage of development) knows that.

Yep.

That same great man who increased our peacetime national debt like none before him while giving tax cuts to the wealthiest among us.

Something trickled down, alright- but it wasn't wealth.

We get it, Sinatra, Peggy wrote a great speech and he read it like a decent small-time actor.

Now, care to actually address the points made, or are you just going to keep evading the unpleasant facts about the mythical hero of GOP fairy tales?

Reagan got off easy with his ahlzhiemers. It should have been some painfull liver or kidney failure that rid our world of that phoney hollywood cowboy actor piece of shit. His election to the oval office was the first evidense of the willfully ignorant criminally fundimentalist fascists in the republican party. How convenient he did not have to think about the destruction he caused on our country in his final days. I repeat my earlier sentiment. Piss on him.

Yep.

That same great man who increased our peacetime national debt like none before him while giving tax cuts to the wealthiest among us.

and did away with many deductions for the working classes, thereby raising taxes on us.

Reagan gave rise to Neoconservatism.

I almost forgot about that part. Before his Income Reform Act of 1986, my wife and I used to take a total of seven exemptions between us throughout the year and break even at tax time. Afterwards, we lost all the exemptions and started writing a sizable check to the IRS every year at tax time. We called it the hidden tax increase on the middle class.

All i hear is bad things about Reagan.. While most of them are true do you guys not have anything good to say about him?

If you don't, then don't complain when people don't like Obama 100%... Not me, I disagree with most of his policies but like a few others.

He put me and Bill Gates in the same tax bracket which makes me feel very successful.

Maybe Bill and I could play a round of golf at our country club sometime.

Well, he was a "charming" war criminal... How's that?
