"Reagan came along with his tax cuts and it took so much away from the government etc .... ".
Check the facts , I did . When the tax rates were cut , the total tax receipts to the government increased , not decreased . Yes , the rates were reduced ... but the taxes collected actually increased by a considerable margin . Where the problem came from was that Congress ( Democrat and some Republicans ) actually spent $3 for every $1 that was collected . The problem was not the rate reduction ... it was the undisciplined , irresponsible spending by the morons in Congress ... just as it is today . They are totally incapable of living within their ( our ) means .
