40 yrs ago America took a terrible turn, initiating a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% of us. Through a reworking of tax laws to favor the already rich, union busting, deregulation & every other tool of oligarchy imaginable, we have economically tyrannized a nation

Name that arsehole: Ronald Reagan
Replying to @marwilliamson
Lots of Americans loved Ronald Reagan ... and many liked Bill Clinton ... but few looked closely at what they were proposing ... Together they helped to distroy a middle class that ... back in the 50's, 60's and 70's ... were doing pretty well!

If they were honest, individual retirement accounts would be called 401-KY.

Let me know if there’s an opening on your staff for your next run for President. I’ll come out of retirement.

So many people either don't remember this, or never knew it. This facilitated our nation's decline into greed and the backwards slide into ignorance and hate. This is when we (99%) really began to lose our standard of living compared to the rest of the 1st world.

Happening everywhere, the age of NeoLiberalism. It was hailed as the new awakening a novo renaissance but has ended in a nightmare for the vast majority of us. The UK has virtually returned a Dickensian society. One of your compatriots, Chris Hedges, has plenty to say about it.

You continue to vote for it when you vote Democratic Party. Posturing on Twitter isn't going to change anything. Democrats must be denied power in GEs to open up any possible path to actual reform.
