We don’t talk about just how many things Reagan broke nearly enough.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

“Real Americans”?
If you’re an American you know that “I may not believe in what you’re saying, but you have the right to say it, even if we disagree.”
That’s the 1st Amendment.
And that’s how you can tell that Israeli Americans who threaten other Americans free speech are not real Americans.
