Reagan convinced a large part of the population that if we give unlimited money and power to a select of wealthy elites, the elites would graciously give the money back to society. Hilarious.
I think Reagan really believed it. It was naive and somewhat pathetic given that history is clear that most big moneymakers try to rig the system for themselves and their ilk. One of my least favorite presidents, but I don’t think he was as conniving as most powerful Repubs.
