The Original Reagan Democrat


Aside from the sheer pleasure derived from hearing right-winger’s heads exploding all over America, this archived radio broadcast of a liberal Democrat by the name of Ronald Reagan campaigning for President Truman, as well as soon-to-be liberal lion Hubert H. Humphrey, presents an important lesson to Democrats everywhere.

In the radio address, the Gipper is:

- For wage growth

- For Social Security

- For union and fair employment practices

- For school lunch programs

- Against tax cuts for the wealthy

- Against excessive corporate profits

And the money quote? “High prices have not been caused by higher wages.”

Wow, there you go again, Ronnie.
