What a decade for American Exceptionalism and Trickle-Down Economics.

These days, I enjoy reading articles about how the 1% is freaking out.
Duh.
Attention fat-cats: by cutting back on your shameless greed-mongering, your stoking of white supremacy in order to profit from it, your fascist agenda—guess what? Your intense feelings of pants-poopiness will lessen.
I 100% guarantee it.
Let’s recap the last twelve or thirteen years, shall we?
• Financial speculators caused the Great Recession
• The rest of the country paid the consequences and millions lost their jobs
• Financial speculators got bailed out by the taxpayers
• After getting bailed out, financial speculators didn’t use this money to hire workers
• The country’s death rate increased
• The number of black CEOs of Fortune 500 companies decreased
• The rest of the world quit trusting the United States
• More tax cuts for the rich and corporations
• Deficit ballooned
• The 1% openly advocated using Social Security and Medicare funds to pay down the deficit
• Corporations did not use the tax savings to hire more workers
• Financial regulations have been weakened
• Another tax cut has been proposed
Let’s turn this shit around in the 2020s, what do you say?
