"Inequality between the wealthiest and poorest Americans are at their highest rates since 1930 largely thanks to right wing tax policies."

Joe, is that just the way you "feel", or do you have any empirical data to back that assertion up? What exactly are right wing tax policies? Allowing people who earn money to keep more of it? How dreadful!!

"Also, the federal debt exploded at its highest percentage during the 1980s due to Reagan's tax cuts and high spending."

Reagans tax cuts resulted in tax revenues that the government collected doubling. So clearly we did not have a revenue problem, we had a spending problem. Who spends federal dollars? Congress that's who. The congress in the 80's just happen to be controlled by the Democratic party. Wow, what a surprise. Reagan pushed for increased spending for defense. Defense just happens to be a constitutionally mandated responsibility of the Federal government. Most of the spending increases that came out of the congress in the 80's had noting to do with constitutionally mandated federal responsibilities.

Congress outspent EVERY Reagan budget proposal. Had congress controlled their pork barrel spending, we would not have had deficits in the 80's , we would have had surpluses.

Anthony, remember McCune was the prosecutor who brokered that ridiculous slap on the wrist plea bargain for Jennifer Langston after she killed 2 people while driving drunk and talking on a cell phone in a huge pickup truck. So what did the voters of Butler county do? Promoted him to judge, that's what. Absolutely infuriating.
