Man. Willie Best was in a lot of movies. Well over a hundred plus films as a supporting character. Made over a million dollars during a 25-year career and co-starred with Bob Hope in The Ghost Breakers. Not bad for a guy from a small town in Mississippi.
Skeeter's getting gas? She can't even be 12 years old. How is she legally driving a car?...LOL..Too funny. But this was TOTALLY in a different era. Couldn't send a little girl by herself to a gas station nowadays.
@@aprils376 why do you think that? Reagans administration was the most corrupt in history with 138 of his administration officials either indicted or convicted. That's a record. He was known as the "Teflon President" because despite everyone around him getting in trouble he managed to skate by. He approved the sale of crack cocaine by the CIA to fund the purchase of weapons for Nicaraguan rebels. He funneled billions of taxpayer dollars to defense contractors including the failed Star Wars project, claiming it was necessary to bring down the Soviet Union when he knew full well at the time that it was already on its way out. His idiotic War on Drugs with zero tolerance flooded our prisons with twenty-year-olds who were caught with minor drugs. He ignored funding for the AIDS epidemic for 6 years until 20,000 people that died. During Reagan's presidency the u.s. debt went from $750 billion to over $2 trillion. His war on labor unions resulted in decimation of the middle class in America with vast numbers of our population dropping into povert. To cover up his failed Reaganomics plan which in general benefited the wealthy not the poor he took money out of the Social Security fund. During his tenure the net worth gap between the rich and the poor in the United States increased dramatically. It never ends.
You must be one of the idiots that voted for Biden the worst president in the history of the United States and I’m a lifelong Democrat. To be honest thanks to Biden and the woke nonsense I’m no longer a Democrat.
If you were rich, Reagan was the best President ever. For the rest of his fellow Americans, he was most definitely not. You can see Ronald Reagan's legacy in the homeless population today. Reagan closed all of the free mental health facilities and state funded homeless shelters nationwide and gave the money to the military. Regan also championed the "give all of the money to the millionaires and billionaires" mantra that people are still unwisely chanting today, the trickle-down theory, that President Roosevelt warned us all about back in the 40's. Problem is that rich people don't spend money like the rest of us do. That means that it doesn't really trickle down to the average person in America. Far from it. The average American stimulates the economy way more than the rich do, especially since we're the majority. We spend money on a daily basis, because we HAVE to. The rich horde their wealth, hide it and/or ship it out of the country via international banks and special loopholes in the law and mostly AVOID their fair share of taxes. You can also see Reagan's legacy in the current student loan disaster. Reagan had dinner with the Sallie Mae and Freddie Mac corporations decades ago, corporate student loan lenders, and they convinced Reagan to change the current student loan dynamic at that time in THEIR favor. I wanna be fair. I don't think that Reagan was thinking long term of how this would deeply impact students in this timeframe. He only wanted the college kids to stop protesting him and figured if they couldn't afford school, then they could best serve their country in the ongoing Viet Nam war back then. Basically, in a nutshell, college went from being affordable to this insanely high predatory unregulated lending and perpetual debt that we're seeing now. Reagan paved the way for this by helping these two corporations who are now raking in insane amounts of money in the trillions at the expense of financially novice teenage/young adult borrowers. Again, Ronald Reagan wasn't perfect, and he wasn't diabolically evil. He became a very seasoned politician and a larger-than-life personality politically. Reagan helped a lot of people and made a lot of changes. Unfortunately, and ultimately it all only favored the rich and the fortune 500 corporations and special interests' groups.
Reagan was told this while he was still on the side of the average American by some very powerful and deeply influential people at the time: "Ronnie, you can be loved by the people and be a champion of the people and be broke and definitely NOT go any higher politically, or you can have a lot of power and a lot of money and greater authority, maybe even the White House itself, if you only come on over to this side."...LOL. Guess which one he chose. LOL.
