I knew from the gitgo that Reagan and his economics were SHIT! In fact, my professor of economics was very clear on the fallacy of Trickledown economics. So, I was in shock that anyone, including people I went to school with and knew of as Democrats bragging about being Reagan Democrats. I just thought of them as Stupid idiots. I still do. He just gave them permission to be super rich and greedy and selfish, and that is what their little egos ran with. I could say more but won't as they all sicken me.

Permission to be super rich and greedy and selfish. A cultural shift since my formative years, for sure. Later, there was a show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, designed to create envy of the wealthy and give greed and selfishness a good name.
