Screw over the poor, blame Dem president.

Gop president, reduce prices and then say how great of a job he is doing. (Always a he).

It's a conspiracy writ so large as to be unbelievable.

I said this decades ago, and it remains true.

@SpaceLifeForm There was some great research that someone did out there comparing economic cycles and their conclusions were for one term presidents they will never feel the effects of their policies and term limits make sure they never feel the full effect. In practice what this looks like is everyone thinks the democrats are reckless spenders out to spend well beyond their means and don't understand how the real economy works and republicans are the generators of true economic prosperity, when in fact that is backwards and basically every dem after Regan has basically sent the economy into the stratosphere by betting in Americans and every republican tanks it by betting on their rich buddies.

What really blows peoples minds too is jumping off that if you take the statement that mainly Republicans make of taxes kill the economy and actually look into it, turns out the higher you ratchet corporate and capital gains taxes the more the economy grows. When you look at why the greed of the upper class shows up in spite and since it will cost them tons to hold on to money like a dragon they turn around and put it into research, benefits, pay, and bonuses because that offsets their tax liability and they feel some sense of pride in avoiding taxes.

re: research, benefits, pay, and bonuses

Corp: we have spare cash tbat we extracted from our customers via price gouging because we are a monopoly or part of a duopoly (that has stock in each other). Let's feed some to our fascist partners so they will remain in the cult.
