Reply #10: Yes Thatcher and Reagan introduced [View All]

[blank space]

trickle down economics, deregulation, removed tariffs and subsidies and opened up economies - however - every single left leaning, progressive liberal ever since has embraced those policies with great big wide open arms.

Now that the shit is hitting the fan you can't simply ignore everything that has gone on since then and simply blame the person who started it - how childish.

I hate Margret and Ronald more than the next person, trust me, but this side shifting of blame is horse crap.

The wall came down - the people standing there when it came down had a moral responsibility to respond in a proper manner - that was Obama.

He could have used the opportunity for prosecution, he could have used the opportunity to stand up and lead - so too could have Cameron and Brown, they did not do that - instead they let the bankers go, worse, they rewarded them - and did nothing.

And since we can not bear to take any responsibility for our failures, just like Republicans can't - we seek to blame and old lady who implemented and economic theory 35 years ago along with a senile old man who is now dead.

I am fairly sure Thatcher and Reagan did not cause these riots.

Fuck me - now i've heard everything.
