The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody: Great Figures of History Hilariously Humbled by Will Cuppy (Author), William Steig (Illustrator) Ever wonder what Nero did before he began fiddling about in Rome, or wanted the bare facts about Lady Godiva? Maybe you've found the story of Lucrezia Borgia a bitter pill to swallow, or wanted the straight skinny on corpulent King Henry the Eighth, but you haven't the stomach for stuffy history books. Now these and twenty-two more of history's most famous personages are brought brilliantly to life, in this collection of unfailingly accurate yet undeniably hilarious biographies. You'll laugh while you learn about the very real people behind the legendary names, including why Montezuma was so vengeful, and why Catherine was so Great. You'll even finally lay to rest the rumor that Charlemagne was called "Chuck" by his friends.

I assume the reason you're a big supporter of Donald Trump is because he says "American wages and salaries are way too high and need to come way down." Do you think American workers should be prepared to adjust their budgets to be able to support their family on the Standard Minimum Wage in Mexico of $5 for a Standard 12 hour work day? Or should American wages be Trumped even more so many Americans leave for Mexico to take good paying $5 a day jobs in Mexico's farm sector? One thing Reagan supporters overlook is this extremely low wage only works in Mexico because the government heavily subsidizes the price of tortillas, beans, rice and cooking oil. What food prices would you subsidize in America to prevent starvation as Americans are shifted to the Mexican Standard? Have you considered whether the US government could afford to provide this level of food subsidies while also decreasing income tax rates for those making more than $2 million annually, when these income tax rates for multi-million Dollar earners are already lower than they are in Mexico? As we've reduced income tax rates to levels below that seen in Third World Nations, we've also seen the American Middle Class live a life which is increasing like those in the Third World Nations whose income tax rates Ronald Regan copied. Are you really sure this was the right decision? Looking forward to Winning the War against American workers so big that you get tired of winning so much, is a lot for you to look forward to assuming that's what you really want. But like John Vosilla, you also periodically claim to be concerned that wages are too low - which I've always assumed is just an act to disguise your true vicious intentions. If you aren't demanding a big reduction in wage rates for Americans, why are you supporting Donald Trump?
