Here's to Stupidity

This one is for all you stupid people out there. You know who you are.

Wait a minute! Maybe you DON'T know who you are!

Let's review.

After the Great Depression, we regulated the banking industry, and had a stable banking system for 70 years.

Then we de-regulated the banking industry, and within a decade the banks failed and wrecked the US economy on a scale not seen since, well, the Great Depression.

Despite high taxes on upper income brackets, we had over 70 years of prosperity, and built the strongest middle class of any nation at any time, and the strongest overall economy in the history of the world.

Then we cut taxes on the higher income brackets, and the result was not only the largest income gap since the Great Depression, but also the transformation of our budget from a surplus of 4 years running into massive and continuous deficits.

We cut taxes, it didn't work.

We de-regulated, it didn't work.

 And the lesson the GOP learned from these mistakes?

Do it again!

Ha ha, you laugh, the voters are too smart for that, they certainly won't elect someone who wants to do more of the very two things that ruined the economy and wiped out millions of people's life savings. No way!

Yes, way.

In fact, almost 40% of Americans think we should get rid of the guy who stopped a second Great Depression and produced 27 straight months of GDP and jobs growth, and instead we should elect the guy who wants to cut more regulations and further reduce taxes for the top income brackets.

America, the home of the free and the land of the brave, has in monetary terms become the home of the greedy and land of the craven.

Ironically, the 40% who think they are the most patriotic are the same ones who support the craven, greedy few who have brought our great country to the brink of ruin.

40% - this one's for you!
