2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Guess who works for Phil Gramm at UBS? [View all]southerncrone
(5,506 posts)19. K & R! It's all a cozy little country club, isn't it?
Gramm, as in Gramm-Rudman Act which immediately cut the top tax bracket's tax in half, while shifting the tax burden onto the backs of the middle-class. It was the beginning of the New Feudalism in America. Add on NAFTA, CAFTA & the other trade deals that punched us in the gut & here we are today.
They've been laughing at us for years; entertaining us w/their faux fights while robbing the coffers WE filled. This is EVIL. Take a close look at it. Time for them to pay the piper.
