LOL...so now it's impossible to figure out if Reagan raised taxes?
You asked about the net tax raise. I said I didn't know, and didn't think you could really figure that out. So now, once again, you shift the goalposts of what you meant. Before, you asked if I thought he was a net tax raiser. I said I didn't know. Then you came back in the next post and chopped off the "net" to just a tax raiser. I say, of course Reagan raised taxes. He did it at least three different times. But that's not the question you asked before. You changed it in the very next post.
Your problem is that you recognize your posts are shit, so that's why you constantly find yourself walking back what you said, or misrepresenting what someone else said...all so you don't have to own up to the fact that you're a zealot, and what you believe is shit.
You make that claim and then run from it? Let me guess...you Googled it and discovered that Reagan actually lowered taxes across the board?
He lowered the marginal income tax rate, but raised all sorts of excise and payroll taxes, a limited deductions, and so on and so forth. You are focusing on just the marginal income tax rates and representing them in a vacuum, outside of all the other non-income taxes he raised to make up for the gap from the income tax cut.
You know this, of course, but are just acting like a piece of shit because you are insecure and helpless.
I'm always amused when you on the left accuse Reagan of being a tax raiser and loudly trumpet that Reagan raised taxes 11 times! Well, yes...that's true...but those taxes were generally on consumption items and in no way added up to the same amount of tax relief that he gave by redoing the tax brackets and allowing for inflation. You'd know that if you took something in school other than Political Science and basket weaving, Derp!
