What a CreepSeason 26, Episode 7Ronald Reagan, trickledown economics & welfare queensIt’s time to talk about President Ronald Reagan’s “trickle-down economics” tax policy, which has been described as the most enduring failed policy idea in American politics. And that leads into Reagan’s narrative of “the welfare queen,” the undeserving women who are freeloading off of the American taxpayers, AND THAT feeds into the bigger story of people living in poverty who don’t want to work.
