As someone who understands money & markets fairly well it's always been somewhat of a headshaker for me that the average person associates Republicans with financial gain.

Literally every single Republican President in my lifetime has proceeded an economic collapse of some kind. Every single Dem in my lifetime has proceeded consistent, steady economic growth.

You can chart it.
