Ronald Reagan: Life Before the Presidency—Miller Center
Ronald Reagan was actually brought up by parents who were very left.
He surprised liberal Democrats and alienated the far right of the Republican Party by showing a proclivity for compromise.
Reagan proposed massive increases in individual and corporate income taxes and many other taxes as well. The price tag for these tax increases, which passed the legislature with bipartisan support against the opposition of a handful of conservative Republicans, came to a state-record $1 billion.
