I realized that the "powers" controlled everything when Ronny "The Commie" Reagan raised self-employment tax to 15.3%. when it was only 2% in 1967 and gave "amnesty" to illegal aliens. Conservative? If so, quite the definition of it.

And, back in the seventies, we were told that having harsh penalties for the illegal use of a firearm was good "gun control". However, even before this push ... most judges never added so much as one extra day.

Republican or Democrat party .... the difference twixt the two ain't worth the price of bucket of warm spit.
