I love the "narrative" that progressives have woven to try and excuse the out of control spending that they now demand be done. Yes, Reagan increased the national debt...something he later admitted was his biggest regret as President, but he increased it by billions of dollars. Barack Obama is increasing the debt by a TRILLION dollars plus each year and his policies have those trillion dollar deficits lined up as far as the eye can see. Bill Clinton only balanced those budgets because a Republican dominated Congress FORCED him to. Or have you forgotten something called "A Contract With America"?
This is what is going to happen with the silly insistence by progressives that we raise taxes on the wealthy...those with capital that would normally be investing that into businesses that would create jobs and grow the economy will be putting that capital into tax shelters to protect it from being seized. An already weak economy will slow further, which will put even more Middle Class and Lower Class people out of work. What you're advocating is economic suicide...all done to satisfy a political theology that incorrectly holds that if someone else is making more money than you must therefore be making less. What you're advocating will in fact hurt the very people you're trying to help but you're so caught up in "fairness" you can't see that.
You left out the Obama years...Hmmmmm, did everything just stop when Obama took office ?OMG, this is getting funnier by the minute.
According to the latest accounts, Obama is pushing very hard on taxing the rich -- not only expiration of Bush tax cuts, but also rising the dividend and estate taxes. In exchange, Dems are proposing modest spending cuts, leaving it to Republicans to offer what else they see fit to axe.
Now that is where it gets comical -- Republicans refuse to detail any additional spending cuts! They say they are desperately needed, huge cuts too. But they are afraid -- and for a good reason too -- that if they themselves would put any specific proposals regarding the entitlement programs on the table, the voters would punish them.
So Republicnas are practically begging the Dems to do the honor and commit a political suicide.
Now tell me -- aren't they cute? Saying no to them is like taking a candy from a little girl -- breaks one's heart! I see John Boehner crying again.
Neither party has ever cut spending a god damned dime. At least the Democrats had enough sense to tax enough to keep from borrowing massive amounts from foreign banks:

No, that's not what I'm saying. Take money out of peoples paychecks to hire more people and generate more paychecks. Not give that money back to the same people.I have to laugh...your concept of what's smart is to take lots of money OUT of people's paychecks...run it through a wasteful and inefficient Federal Government...and then send whatever is left over BACK to those same people in a different paycheck. And THAT makes sense to you? Really?
LOL...looks like the "givers" need to loosen their purse strings a bit.

In 1937 Ferdinand Lundberg wrote a book, Sixty Families. The book was about the sixty richest families that controlled America at the time. Now almost 100 years later does anyone know how many of those families are still active in controlling America? Any studies, any books or updates?
Reagan's "trickle down" theory has been completely debunked and proven historically wrong for years, yet you keep trying to make that dumbass claim again and again. Man, that dog don't hunt!When you take money out of people's paychecks, that reduces their spending. That reduces job.
That's not true! Just because one company gets a government contract, doesn't mean a competing company has to layoff workers. Company's like that usually have more than one project they're working on.For every job government creates, 2-3 are destroyed in the private sector.
The stimulus did work. It stopped the loss of 700,000 jobs a month that we were losing.That's why Obama's so-called "stimulus" didn't work.

No, it looks like all the ticks on the ass of society need to be removed from the government tit.

Today the top 1 percent of Americans control 43 percent of the financial wealth while the bottom 80 percent control only 7 percent. Incredibly, the wealthiest 400 Americans have the same combined wealth as the poorest half of Americans -- over 150 million people.
What would it take to satisfy the Republicans......the top 1000 having it all?
Hardly...Look, just because I pointed out that few, if any, managers or owners do daily data entry in General Ledgers doesn't mean we don't crunch numbers on a daily if not hourly basis. It's not reading a profit & loss statement either...it's keeping track of things like labor costs and inventory. "Staying on top of your business" does not mean doing basic bookeeping like daily ledger entries or payroll and if you ARE wasting your time doing that, I'd strongly suggest you hire someone else to take care of that so you ARE staying on top of your business.
Anyone with a business that's been around for decades cannot help but be exposed to and have a grasp of the VERY BASIC instruments I've thus far mentioned.
Unless maybe they mow lawns and do check book accounting.
If you're making a payroll, having to submit particulars to your accountant, submitting quarterly tax deposits, you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not understand basic accounting.
Jesuschrist. If ya'll wanna play make believe, try reading up on some very basic shit, first.
Just a thought.
Make believe? LOL...I simply pointed out that very few if any people do their own payroll anymore and nobody I know working as a club owner or manager spends time doing data entry into General Ledgers. What business is it that you run where you're spending your time doing basic bookeeping chores?

But three decades ago? Hahahahahaha.
Heck and even then, maybe for the first few years you might be slow to pick it up. But after 30????? Ridiculous!
More to the point, when did QuickBooks become popular, for smaller, one-/two-man operations? 15 years ago, at most? Prior to that, even automated accounting used in micro-size companies used what we larger concerns still do: modular accounting and POS, such as Peachtree.
If what you say is true, jesuschrist pal, learn something about business accounting. You'll do better in the next 30 years if you do.
Just a thought.
The CBPP is a left-wing propaganda organ, so your chart is meaningless. The left-wing canard that Republicans want the wealthy to have some predetermined share of the GDP is idiotic. What they want is for people to have what they have earned, not what government takes from someone else.

Grow gooberment bigger and bigger is what you are saying here then, instead of getting a handle on spending, and this so there will be plenty of dollars going into the right projects instead of the wrong projects, but first the swamp talked about in Washington, still needs to be drained.No, that's not what I'm saying. Take money out of peoples paychecks to hire more people and generate more paychecks.

Like I said...you folks just keep on denying the asskicking you took and I'll guarantee you it will be worse next time. People are tired of heirs, monitor watchers and paper pushers getting all the money in this country and never doing a goddamned thing which used to describe a patriot. Get off your high horse and go serve in one of these unnecessary military actions declared by old assholes who know their own will never even be inconvenienced by one. The top 1% and the take it for granted have had their fun and now your asses will have to pay up....one way or the other:
Obama..........332
Romulus.........206
Fox News.......0
Karl Rove.....-10
