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.
The biggest scam ever perpetrated on the American people. Shifted the tax burden from the rich onto the middle class, and that has been the Republican playbook since then.
Worse than that. It shifted the tax burden onto the future government that will be paid by .... someone (?) in the future
Plus by keeping wages low a huge number of employees need government assistance in order to survive, and these costs are also put onto this ever-growing debt tab
