“Tear Down This Myth: How Reagan's Legacy Haunts Our Future”, - By Will Bunch
Under Reagan, the corp. taxes went from 50% to 35%. Please explain how that is "raising taxes"? BUT, assuming he DID raise taxes (I hear liberals say that he had the largest increase in history). Then I hear the same liberals say that the economy got WORSE under Reagan. So... According to liberals, Reagan raised taxes, the economy got worse, and there were more people living in poverty. THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING TO RAISE TAXES AGAIN?
If there's anything funnier than right-wingers it's liberals re-writing history to make the right-wingers of the past sound "sane" or "mature". Since when does a flat-rate equal a raise on corporate taxes (as is suggested in the title)? Reagan looked after the corporations and his administration was responsible for the deaths of women and children, under the pretext of "hunting down communism", all over South America.

@ellipsis4321 if you don't remember the 80's accurately or you weren't there, pls refrain from the Stupid comments, go throw a bomb or whatever you dumbasses do
I liked the economy the way clinton left it! but those GOP fools took it and ruined it. because of them, our economy has a massive deficit, it ruined our credit rating, and increased our national debt to epic proportions! i hope obama succeeds in restoring our economy again! I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!!!
@videoguy604 Reagan, being a inexperienced politician at the time, admitted he made a mistake, attempting to get Bi-partisian support for his own very conservative bill. Pass it on :P
@DimensionsofChange: so what's the 'mistake' in making big corp.s pay out tax $ when they're the ones using up more resources than individuals and small/medium-sized businesses?
@rumpole33 Well that's why I'm not a "repuglican". You expect a perfect and fair politician to ever join any political party and get their way? Reagan had to do dirty deeds just like every president since the gilded age.
@DimensionsofChange: i dont think it's 'dirty' to have big international corp.s pay more than $0 in taxes.
repuglicans vote repuglicans cuz they want their politicians to screw the ppl they dont like. but in the process, the repuglican voters arent smart enough to realize that in the end, their guy will end up screwing them too.
@DimensionsofChange Redistribution happens, be thankful for the income tax, the old style of redistribution was beheading the rich, now we just tax you.
He lowered them -- then raised them back up cause the economy started collapsing like you see after (12) years G . W. Obama who lowered the taxes and is keeping them low , Reagen didn't want to take the blame for it...
I just wish it were true. GE just made $14 BILLION and paid NOTHING in corporate income tax. Wow!!! Does it get any more surreal?
