You wanna hear a little story of how it all began? Once upon a time, there was a man named Ronald Reagan. He was known as the "Great Communicator" because he was good at spinning words.
He was a failing actor who decided to run for president. His campaign slogan in 1980 was "Let's Make America Great Again" and he won. Yeah, it was Reagan first.
Before Reagan was elected, the very wealthy paid 70% in taxes. He was so good at spinning words that he convinced the poor people of America that the rich needed to pay less in taxes. So he lowered it to 28%. He said this would create more jobs and opportunities for the poor - "Trickle Down."
Upon seeing his blunder in loss of tax revenues, in 1984, he decided to tax social security to make up some of the lossed tax revenue.
He wanted to end welfare and Medicare, saying, "Let's send those bums back to work (meaning blacks)." Americans (many) were like, hell yeah, I'm cool with that!!!
But, "Reaganomics" never worked. It didn't work then, and it doesn't work today. Oh, I forgot to mention how much he hated Unions and dismantled many of them.
His biggest achievement was separating the races and convincing poor people that the rich needed more. End of story?

Sadly Carlos Alcaraz, the top seed, had to throw in the towel early at the ATP 500 Rio Open after suffering an injury when his right ankle rolled badly just two points into his opening-round match against Brazil’s Thiago Monteiro. He retired shortly after @RioOpenOficial
Brexit. The disaster that keeps on disastering. But hey, Johnson is raking in millions, Farage is in the jungle launching his Tory leadership bid, Sunak is PM, Braverman is plotting his downfall, and if the NHS is on its knees surely a small price to pay for their lies and vanity
