Reagan proposing the 3 tier tax system we have today

It used to be 14 tiers.

This reduction to three tiers shifted the tax burden onto the poor and middle class and exploded the debt.



These days if one suggests the idea of adding a fourth tier for those making over a million dollars all of Washington acts like that's radical.

And Bill Gates, he might be one of the most successful con artist and thieves in American history. But if predatory entrepreneurs is what you are looking for as a role model in a dog eat dog predator dominated World, Bill Gates is the perfect role model.

I've been saying for YEARS that we should dig up Nixon's grave and fill the casket with bullshit as a message to future archeologists. Then go to Reagan's grave and fill it full of horseshit.

On Bill Gates. Have you seen this?
