Blame Reagan: "I grew up in Los Angeles inner city -- you never saw drugs or drive-byes or homeless people or anything like that [until] all the social programs that were cut as a result of Reagan coming into office and greed just became a hobby.... Like that, to me, made greedy white men feel good about being greedy white men. He was the kind of the Moses of leading them to feeling good about being greedy white men. So to me he wasn't a great man." --actor and comedian D.L. Hughley on Ronald Reagan and the new statue unveiled in the Capitol rotunda last week.
D.L. (what does D.L. really stand for?) Oh, I see now how it works... Greedy white men were the ones that drove all the other people into using drugs, shooting at people or becoming homeless. Yeah, That's the ticket... Thank you for clearing that up! We now see that you can actually be funny. If you ever want to be a well-known comedian, keep it coming!
THE GIPPER
"Those who have never broken free from the mentality of tax-and-tax and spend-and-spend still think increasing taxes is the best way to solve America's problems. ... We need a tax policy that offers incentives for people to work, save, and invest -- all the things that will keep our economy growing and improve our well being. We need a basic tax reform that will permit us to bring everybody's tax rates down. ... Our country needs leadership that can see beyond the demands of the special interest groups and prepare America for a better tomorrow." More Ronald Reagan
