If getting what he (R.R.) proposed and signing the tax bills (lowering and raising) is getting double-crossed, then I don't know what double-crossed means. He had a veto pen, ya know.<br /><br /><i>So, when President BO (the child president) tells you with a straight face that taxes have never been lower than they are now, HE IS LYING TO YOU THROUGH HIS VERY WHITE TEETH!!</i><br /><br />First of all, you misquote the Obama quote from your own post. He said, "By the way, taxes are much lower now than they ever were <b>when Ronald Reagan was president</b>."<br /><br />Second, what he said is, as I have shown you with factual data, entirely accurate. By any measure, Obama is correct. Revenue as a % of GDP is currently 14.7%, the lowest tax burden on the American people since 1950. The average tax burden during Reagan's 8 years was 18.2% of GDP.<br /><br /><i>Why can't liberal/progressives get that? What is WRONG with your minds?<br /><br />(Answer: You have a disease. You are sick. Liberalism/progressiveism is a disease, a bone-fide mental disorder that causes you to be unable to engage in linear thinking or sticking with the actual truth).</i><br /><br />You're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own "facts". You may want to do a little research before making silly statements like the one above.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124629994153584904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-48115486331126379722011-10-09T15:34:25.155-04:002011-10-09T15:34:25.155-04:00Hey !

We're probably about the same age, so I remember. The top marginal tax rate for the first 6 1/2 years of Reagan was 50%. The tax reform bill in "86" lowered it to 35%, then 28% in "87". So, the TMTR was 28% for all of 11 months of double R's presidency, and about 2 years of Daddy Bush's. It was raised back to 35% because of mounting deficits and a failing economy. It was the responsible thing to do so, naturally, the Righties spanked Bush One for it.<br /><br />I also remember that the Capital Gains Tax was 20% when Reagan took office. He raised it to 28% and closed tax loopholes for the rich because he thought it was <a rel="nofollow">crazy</a> for a middle class worker to pay higher income taxes than a wealthy person.<br /><br />Reagan ended up raising taxes 11 times. Including payroll taxes, gas taxes and corporate taxes. Being middle class and self employed in the 80's, I payed more taxes when Reagan left office than when he came in. BTW, I'm paying less taxes, so are you, since Obama took office. Look it up.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124629994153584904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-76934627062954378192011-10-08T21:06:21.005-04:002011-10-08T21:06:21.005-04:00Joe - and as usual:
