We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through (higher education). If not, we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people. That's what happened in Germany. I saw it happen.
-- Roger Adolf Freeman, economics professor at Stanford, advisor to President Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon
Once again, it leads back to Reagan. Not that he's a root cause, but he enacted the legislation that did the bidding of capitalists to fuck us all.
Years ago, someone sent posted a listing of 200 reasons why Reagan sucked. All seemed accurate. As you say, he wasn't necessarily the root, but man did he help facilitate the future we got shoved down our throats.
