I know Reagan is credited with the end of the cold war... that's the funny part, it's not like he actually did anything other than an arms build up. It was a war about nothing, based on fears, kids hiding under desks as if it would have ever made a difference, and it all included ramped up spending to an extreme amount of weapons that can kill us all....
It's sad, because you people think he did something worthy of being proud of.
Lets go over the tax cuts... first at the big level, taxes reduced, gov drops in size, 81 taxes got cut, 82 we had deficits which, which slows growth down across the board and ends up putting pressure on congress to raise taxes to close the gap. I mean come on... it isn't really rocket science, you have been paying higher taxes because of this for almost 20 years now... that isn't a tax cut, it's a fuck up.
Lets look at it another way... you take home more money then, did you own your house? Probably not, but if you did what was the interest rate? Would you rather pay a bank or pay the gov?
You idol was bat shit crazy while he was President.
