in texas just two hours
after tuesday's supreme court decision came dot
journey general issued a statement saying the taxes voter i_d_ laws and

but this war is voters didn't begin on tuesday
or last week or last month or even last year the war against voters certain
nineteen eighty when ronald reagan or eighty one when ronald reagan took over
the presidency
in fact it started
in nineteen eighty before he even stepped foot inside the white house
reagan's first speech
during his campaign for the presidency george took place in the show but county
fair
initial but county mississippi
philadelphia mississippi which at that time was a white supremacist stronghold
reagan's campaign shows that event and that area first first campaign speech
racist votes
why would you say there is a spokeswoman sheila county was that he this was where
three civil rights activists were murdered
in nineteen sixty four
they made a movie about it
they were shot to death by racist were enraged by the idea that americans
having now equal rights but the right to vote
to vote
during his presidency rate oppose the voting rights act of nineteen sixty five
openly
peggy said voting there that the voting rights act was quote
humiliating to the south
in the years since reagan took office and since the reagan revolution is
spread across america
pretty much everybody's united states is yet about pretty much of it but uh...
uh... a large chunk of this country particular the so-called republicans and
and moderates
or independence
have taken the position that
everybody shouldn't have a voice in our democracy
and
you know america hell i a great anyway hey our government right how do you have
a great country if you go i was a government
the fundamental assumption of reaganomics is in america's back
government is not the solution to your problems government is the problem
government is bad america is bad
that's the founding
core principle of reaganomics in tea party nominees
and decides losing faith in the very foundations of our nation
consider some of the other things that america's loss since a not so good old
days of reagan
to start with we've lost our ability to corporations and check to prevent them
from stealing millions for the working class
thanks to reagan corporate that's been illegal behaviors of skyrocketed
is he did away with government oversight and regulation of corporate america
as a result since the reagan revolution corporations around rush roughshod over
our economy
in our democracy
reagan's policies whether one of the greatest financial scandals in american
history savings and loan debacle which cost taxpayers billions of dollars
and set the stage for week banking regulations of today
and if people like senator phil gramm following reagan's philosophies had done
away with regulation over set of america's big banks
the financial scandals that have taken place over the last decade we'd never
happened
be allows reagan was helping out corporate america he was waging an
all-out war on labor in america
is a tax on organized labor american the n_l_r_b_ drove down employee wages
is aud assault by labor has staunch opposition of the minimum wage
led to three decades of flat wages while c_e_o_ executive pay went through the
grove
the roof
between nineteen eighty three nineteen eighty eight weight is policies led to
ten a
million americans losing their jobs through an academic of plant closings
and layoffs
and of those ten million allah's their jobs many were forced to take a lower
paying jobs
the middle-class began to crumble during the reagan presidency
under reagan the number of families link below the poverty line exploited by a
third
and these same families were then hebei reagan's cuts to social welfare programs
like medicaid and food stamps
ellen let us not forget ketchup is a vegetable for school lunches
since reagan took office the sheriff total before tax income flow in the top
one percent of americans
has doubled
the destruction of our economy since reagan took office is largely thanks
to his failed theory of trickle-down economics which has over and over and
over again been debunked
to spend a half hour with there ralph date or you could see them
uh... on t_v_ next frightening for friday
and uh...
he's his stuff
yes that's where all began
since regular so obsessed with this notion actually uses you know is a lot
of it sells began in the seventies with apollo battle
since reagan was so obsessed with this notion
he had not been dust to reduce levels of property the growing income gap
but a strong economy and government oversight a corporate or car not the
only things with lawson's reagan stephens said the white house we've lost
trust in our government
after all the reagan administration was one of the most corrupt in american
history
including by one estimate thirty one reagan era convictions including
fourteen convictions in iran contra fair and sixteen in the department of housing
urban development scandal
over a hundred and eighty three f
point easing the reagan administration who resigned under affable father or
were and dated criminally
reaganomics continues to devastate the station and reagan's
philosophy
that america is bad that our government is has no value their government is the
problem not the solution continues to damage
body parts
this is the comma hardman program it's time for us to say it off reaganomics
stupid mistake
reagan worldview
stupid mistake
