Shultz knows nothing, hears nothing, sees....

Shultz knows nothing, hears nothing, sees....
I have liked Starbucks on social issues for a long time. But just like Bloomberg, it is not enough to be socially supportive of minorities. Economics matter, and if all you do is say "yea I hate Trump" but we need to get back to the center, sorry.  

Bloomberg pisses me off, for saying he'd fund his own campaign. Yea, to me that is simply buying the office. And really no different a claim than the orange turd made, even if he lied about self funding, the ploy is still bullshit. 

So this morning on Morning-Joe, Shultz was quoting Reagan as the example of dignity of the office. I am sure Reagan would hate Trump today, and could not win a nomination on today's GOP, sure. But sorry Howard, REAGAN was the President who started the age of deregulation, union busting and "don't tax the rich" which has lead to the pay gap and more worker instability today.

But I am sick of this bullshit which he repeated that "both parties" garbage. Um no, if part of your argument is "taxing billionaires won't help", that is bullshit, and all you are doing is defending Reagan's failed policies. 

AOC on the other hand, despite what people claim, DOES NOT want us to become Venezuela, but merely suggested we go back to the graduated tax rates pre Reagan. The rates that created our highways, GI bill and had a more manageable gap.

Sorry Howard, but what you said about taxing billionaires is nonsense. To me you are simply just defending the same policies Reagan started that lead to the problems we see today.
