Reagan is not great

I have railed against Ronnie and his polices many a time, but I would take him in a NY minute over the clown show we have today. I'd take Bill Clinton in a minute. Hell, I'd take Jimmy Carter. I'd take Duyba. I'd take annnnnyone over Hillary, even Trump.

Many of Trumps ideas are, correctly, anti-Reagan.

The problem with Trump is he wants to sneak in huge tax cuts to the extreme wealthy at the cost of the middle class. And of course, he is the biggest dangerous asshole this nation and by extension the world has ever seen in a US presidential candidate.

In addition, he often contradicts himself, IN THE SAME SENTENCE, which means no one knows what the man belives.
 
Here is one of the most liberal persons in existence on some of Trump's stance/comment. But some of Trump's truths get thrown out with the bath water.

Here are Trump's bitches:

Rubio
Cruz
Jeb Bush
Christie

I have posted extensively in ET forums on how Reagans supply-side economics which resulted in a dramatic compression of tax rates -- at one point nearly eliminating progressivity in our income tax code -- has been a major factor in wealth redistribution in the U.S.. The effect of Reagan era compression of tax rates, combined with taxing unearned income at lower rates than earned, compounded over many years, has resulted in the redistribution of wealth from the middle class upward to the already wealthy. In no small measure, this has been responsible for the lopsided wealth distribution we see in today's America. Ronald Reagan, the "Great Wealth Redistributor".

Reagan meant well but his policies proved disastrous for the long term. And amazingly, we still have a large fraction of the Republican party today advocating supply-side economics, despite Reagan's own eventual recognition of the failure of supply-side economics. It turns out that you can't help the middle class by giving their money to the rich. Who would have thought!

Yeah, you state this bullshit every chance you get, and I keep replying that it's nonsense, every chance I get.

Wealth is made by production. That's supply side economics. You cannot produce wealth by demand side economics. It's elementary. It's definitional. And you are delusional to think otherwise.
