Has Kansas Found the Cure for the Reaganomics Disease?
Economic Policy
by Thom Hartmann | September 17, 2014 - 9:14am

Reaganomics is like a bad disease; It just keeps on spreading.

Thanks to 34 years of failed Reaganomics, the gap between the wealthy elite in the United States and everyone else is at an all-time high.

Since 2009 alone, a staggering 95 percent of all income gains have gone to the top 1 percent, while everyone else has been left out in the cold.

And while conservatives will never admit it, the staggering levels of income inequality that Reaganomics has created are bad for the economy.
