@DannyCarlton Reagan was a tool of big business that actually did harm to the American people by Spending so much money. Reganomics and similar legislation by presidents after him is the direct cause of the Economic downturn that America is now facing. And on a side note Reagan actually help fund and negotiated with Terrorists that would come to be the radical organizations you fight today. He falls Just short president Polk when it comes to worst presidents in history.

@DannyCarlton Also due to heavy military intervention into the Baltic states and it's expensive war in Afghanistan the USSR was put in major debt. With its inability to fund it's nation, several nations within the USSR declaring independence, and infighting among Nationalists and Union loyalists with the Soviet Government the USSR could no longer function. It's collapse was largely do to it's own inabilities NOT any action by Reagan.

[Jamez773]

@DannyCarlton " It had no infighting" Yes it did. When Glasnost took affect many places withing the soviet union started a revolution for independence. It also allowed separate governments within the union to become sovereign. This would lead to military intervention that would lead to infighting among high ranking Government officials. Yeltsin wanted pushed for an Independent Russia while others wanted the Union to stay. There was even a coup Against Gorbachev by the "Gang of 8"

[DannyCarlton]

@Jamez773 Really. The USSR was a totalitarian government. It had no infighting (Trotsky found that out). Reagan knew that our economy could stand an arms escalation, while theirs couldn't, therefore he forced their hand, and they collapsed. Reagan defeated them.

Reagan actually raised taxes on the rich by eliminated virtually all the loopholes Democrats had put in place.

Who controlled Congress during Reagan's years? Democrats, so you can't blame Reagan for everything.

[DannyCarlton]

@Jamez773 An odd semantics game. Not all companies are corporations. You haven't really made any sort of distinction between a business and a company.

[Jamez773]

@DannyCarlton And Reagan did not defeat the USSR. They defeated themselves due to infighting, overstretching their military, not having access to enough resources, and not adapting to change. In other words they did everything bad that the US has done over the last decade

Reagan actually harmed the US with his outrageous spending. He raised the dept ceiling 18 times and his tax cuts to the super rich and Companies lead to two financial down turns, one of which you are still experiencing.

@DannyCarlton A business can be state owned and is anything run that exchanges services for some type of good. A Company is a corporation that offers stock options, is usually run by multiple people and is recognized as a legal person. In other words All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
