      Biden is more conservative than the Republican four-star general Dwight D Eisenhower. Eisenhower was basically on the same level as Bernie Sanders in terms of politics and economics. Look it up. Eisenhower taxed the super rich at 90% nominal of course and the economy boomed. Name one good thing Conservatives have done besides Eisenhower that benefits the poor and middle class? Biden is more radical than FDR? Biden is like a tea party Republican compared to FDR. This guy is a joke, as most right wingers are jokes.
      Not a goddamn thing except cut taxes on the rich, cut social programs, deregulate, bust unions (whine about the national debt which is a nonsense scare tactic to cut social programs) once they always run up the national debt then they blame it on Liberals/Democrats. Thanks to conservatives the poor and middle-class now pay a higher tax rate than the rich for the first time in history.
      Thanks to conservatives promoting Thatcherism and Reaganomics wages have been flat for the last 40 years for the poor and middle-class while the top richest individuals have increased their wealth from $8 trillion to $47 trillion in the US since the 1980’s. This comes from Ronald Reagan’s own budget director David Stockman.

Eisenhower was basically on the same level as Bernie Sanders in terms of politics and economics. Look it up. Eisenhower taxed the super rich at 90% nominal of course and the economy boomed. Name one good thing Conservatives have done besides Eisenhower that benefits the poor and middle class? Biden is more radical than FDR? Biden is like a tea party Republican compared to FDR. This guy is a joke, as most right wingers are jokes.
      Not a goddamn thing except cut taxes on the rich, cut social programs, deregulate, bust unions (whine about the national debt which is a nonsense scare tactic to cut social programs) once they always run up the national debt then they blame it on Liberals/Democrats. Thanks to conservatives the poor and middle-class now pay a higher tax rate than the rich for the first time in history.
      Thanks to conservatives promoting Thatcherism and Reaganomics wages have been flat for the last 40 years for the poor and middle-class while the top richest individuals have increased their wealth from $8 trillion to $47 trillion in the US since the 1980’s.

      Biden is more conservative than the Republican four-star general Dwight D Eisenhower. Eisenhower was basically on the same level as Bernie Sanders in terms of politics and economics. Look it up. Eisenhower taxed the super rich at 90% nominal of course and the economy boomed. Name one good thing Conservatives have done besides Eisenhower that benefits the poor and middle class? Biden is more radical than FDR? Biden is like a tea party Republican compared to FDR. This guy is a joke, as most right wingers are jokes.
