Trump Supporters - Blame The True Cause Of Your (economic) Problems - RONALD REAGAN

The only thing that trickled, was your wealth going into the Cayman Islands bank accounts of the 1%ers.

By design.

Trickle Down was a Trojan Horse according to it's designer.

Stop blaming Obama.

1. Or how about this-some of you need to blame yourselves.

Played around in school, didn't do your work or just dropped out entirely- that's on you

Spent more time drinking than working or working to get a job-that's on you.

Stayed with a guy or gal YOU KNEW was going to be bad news and had kids or lost your shirt-that's on you.

Drugs-on you

Decided you'd get to spend your parents money while living in their place until they tossed you for being irresponsible- that's on you

Pissed off people at work, wouldn't show up, didn't follow directions-All yours

Waited all your life for some Savior in a $6000.00 suit with a lousy haircut to tell you what you want to hear and make promises no one can keep-Well stupid, that's on you too

2. Your post applies to a very small percentage of middle class voters.

Reagan's policies pretty much hurt the entire middle class.
Stop blaming the victims.

Do you really believe that a significant minority of people who were hurt during the Reagan fiasco were hurt because they brought it on themselves?

7. To suggest that not all of these problems are about Reagan, or specific incomes, or joblessness.

But you may choose what you think. Perhaps someone else is interested. Whatever. Bye.

My father ran an automotive electronics business that he started in the mid 1960's. Everything was going great. And then Reagan got elected. The early 1980's were a bitch. From there and right up to today the economy in the area where the store was got worse and worse. What did Reagan get for his eight years of trickle down economics? An aircraft carrier named after him.

What did Bill Clinton get for his eight years ? A "Go Fuck Yourself".
