We are the only industrialize nation on earth dumb enough to try that kind of economic policy that has failed time and time again.

@liberalmike1994 education is already free... but healthcare and other benefits available for people physically able to work usually in their prime, but choose to use benefit programs is what I mean by lazy people. And there are a lot of those people. So first we must cut taxes extremely low and allow for true capitalism once again, then we must limit these benefits to only people who are physically disadvantaged.. but those able to work, we should force self responsibility on them

@TripperLV haaaahaha, now i feel like a dick.. Liberals have knowledge based on books, not experience.

@megarational I didn't see them douchebag & you're a full of shit moron. Reagan gave us the largest tax cuts in history, then yes, he did raise them at very small increments, tweaking the economy. All 11 tweaks raised them to nowhere close to where taxes had been before the cuts, so he IN FACT DID CUT TAXES! He lowered the highest taxes from 72% to 38%! All your points are just word games. Everyone knows Reagans legacy was low taxes. Nice try though!!

@falcondriver100 And a fine example of how the Rep mind works:

When I shredded your "Regan tax cuts raised revenues" to shreds with 2 earlier comments containing some facts that Republican politicians forget to mention - you simply strive for a "clever" quit and don't respond to the facts.

You're like an insect exposed to the light, you scurry to find another rock to hide under.

@megarational Now this folks is a great example of how the ignorant liberal mind works!! Bravo bravo bravo sir!!! You must be a true genius! LMAO!!

Another fine product of Gov't education!

@falcondriver100 "Regan cut taxes & revenues increased, so cutting taxes raises revenue" according to the Republican talking point.

In the same way that each morning I get an erection and he sun comes up, so it's obvious that my erection causes the sun to come up.

@falcondriver100 You've been listening to too much GOP-TV (Fox). The fact is:

Reagan raised the gase tax by 5c/gal & instituted a payroll-tax hike to fund Medicare & SS That came on the heels of his 1982 tax increase, again the largest in U.S. history at the time, & repeatedly increased taxes & eliminated loopholes worth $50 billion. He supported the Tax Reform Act hit bus with a record-breaking $420 billion in new fees. So when faced with rising unemployment he raised taxes
