- This is the stupiest thing I have ever seen posted on the
- net. The POOR GOT RICHER? Go tell that to all of the
- GM workers who lost their jobs, all of the steel mill
- employees. Tell it to the homeless and those trapped
- on welfare. They'll laugh in your face.
-
- Not only did the poor get poorer, the middle class joined
- the poor. Check it out. Record numbers of people slipped
- below the poverty line during the eighties.
-
- We're all poor anyway, thanks to VOODOO ECONOMICS and
- the Reagan-induced NATIONAL DEBT!
