I'm pretty sure they all overwhelmingly achieved the same goal for the rich, it's really very dishonest not counting Clinton at least at around the same level as Reagan.

(Well, Kennedy had that car accident, so perhaps he didn't end his term fully.)

Reagan dropped the highest individual rate from 50% to 28%

Clinton raised it to 35%, increased tax on gasoline and removed a lot of upper limits.

It's the fakest shit to say they're all on the same team.

Yes.

My reasoning was that while those things changed over time/each president, the Clinton's financial deregulation has affected decades of economy til this day, arguably also including deficits under future president (after 2007 crisis especially), which is his supposed achievement.

Almost as if we have to totally vote out the GOP.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, Clinton was blue-flavoured, not red.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So vote out anyone conservative or further right.
