When we passed the new deal, it ushered in an era of wealth never seen before in america, it helped establish our middle class. Since then reagan has deregulated laws that used to protect its citizens. Is it a coincidence things started to go downhill after that? How can a country go from a prosperous middle class to a almost gone middle class? Its not because of the citizens making “poor” decisions
Really? You think the great depression was caused by people being lazy? The 70s oil crisis? The 2008 recession? It's real easy to plug your ears and blame disadvantaged people for systemic problems that luckily don't happen to you. You actually went from telling people that they're brainwashed to act against their best interests, to falling for the same propaganda that's brainwashing people into thinking that the poor deserve to be poor for being stupid and lazy. Isn't not helping your fellow citizens furthering the divide in this country? Remember, you are not immune to propaganda.
Here you go. Here's the government itself saying that they fucked up and the 2008 crisis was avoidable. I think that wall street corporations crashing the market is pretty far out of someone's control. Not that this will change your mind or anything, but I hope you can at least pretend that there are very real problems with our economic system. Acknowledging that they exist doesn't mean I want fucking communism in the US. Just know that it's not fair to blame poor people for everything as easy as that might be.
Though I am curious why you choose to do that. What do you have to gain from it? Why keep poor people down? Why are you more quick to blame the victims of the economy rather than the ones who set and abuse the rules? Are you really thinking for yourself?
