(5,744 posts)I know, he does it to tease Republicans, but what he should REALLY be talking about, is how Reagan DROPPED the top tax rate for the wealthiest from 70% (or something like that) to only 28%... and then he had to raise them slightly after that. But the fact remains that the Reagan administration was a fabulous one for the top 1% and a horror for the rest of the 99%.
Liberals like to point out how Reagan would be to the left of the current Republican party, which makes him look good. But he was the enemy of everybody calling him/herself a liberal. There's much too much praising of Reagan already. He was the worst president EVER and that bears repeating. As often as possible.
