Reply #35: Reagan sent the message "greed is good." [View All]

[Samantha]

I am not sure of your age (if you remember that) but it was the first time I had seen people publicly embracing that philosophy. Think about that every time you hear "Reagan" praised, and think of the consequences greed has had on the poor among us. Cities are barring the homeless from the streets and offer no alternative housing. Before Reagan, I had never seen mentally retarded people put out on the streets to fend for themselves. Yet tonight we hear that the Republicans mentioned this man 42 times in their debate last night. To idolize Reagan is to promote the concept of greed; and that's what Edwards was fighting against. Will Obama and Clinton continue that fight?
