Yes, we were. But by 1988 Rush Limbaugh was on the air, some of the tax increases didn’t phase in for a few years, and all the media was basically on the Republican side. The giant corporations had just gotten the largest tax break in the history of the world and so they weren’t criticizing Reagan at all. Including the giant news corporations.

So well said and written! Excellent points as usual. Your actions sound like they could be a very effective counter. Thank you for putting this forward. I hope it gets taken up by Dems and pushed forward. I wish working class/middle class republicans would get a clue that they vote against their own interests. But Republicans using manipulation to push the fear & shame buttons in people to think that any sort of government that protects people is somehow taking away freedoms and creating a victim mentality. Meanwhile swindlers like Johnson & Scott are stealing taxpayers hard earned dollars.
