When I look at these asshats I think "tories/royalists" taking orders from above to keep the status quo.

Just like crazy King George, they have no concept of life on the streets, and repeating some Reagan mantra will keep the lid on the boiling kettle.

Back in 1980 Reagan explained crime one time like this....20% tax bracket makes folks disrespect gubbmint, and the 25% bracket leads to lawlessness.

Luckily his cronies were in the old 38% bracket, so those who weren't underachiever were under indictment.
