How about Ronnie cutting taxes for the rich AND at the same time increasing SS taxes to "save SS"", which added $2+ trillion to the debt, as it masked the revenue shortfall? Greed? Free stuff? lol
Cutting taxes is always a good thing but you must be confused about Ronald Reagan. Although Reagan adjusted the unfair progressive income tax brackets a little bit he also increased total taxation during his administration. He also grew the size of government, increased debt and continued with the welfare state. He didn't even bother to do away with the Community Reinvestment Act, which almost destroyed our economy in 2007. He was not as much of a conservative as many of my brothers and sisters on my Right think he was. He continued to allow the greedy shitheads in our country to live high on the hog.
If the Democrats, who loved stuff like that, were intellectually and morally honest they would embraced Reagan as one of their own. Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush were all progressives. They were better than the Democrats but that is not saying much because the Democrats set such a low bar.
Big government is big greed and a lot of people suck on that teat. For instance, conservative farmers in the Midwest will tell you that they hate welfare but they love their government farm price supports. That is why we need to stop using the government to take money from those that earned it and giving it to the people that didn't earn it. No more welfare, subsidies, bailouts or entitlements. That is the right thing to do. It is destroying our country.
Adjusted the unfair taxation? lol
Talk about intellectually dishonest? CRA around for 30+ years created a Bankster subprime bubble world wide estimated about $20 trillion in new mortgages? REALLY? LOL
Yes, the 'job creators' are being treated unfairly
