    Ronny “trickle down economics” Reagan thought taxes should be higher on wealthy folks? Are you insane? The top tax bracket went from 70% at the start of his presidency to 28% by the time he left office. What Democrat have you heard calling to drop the top tax rate below 28%?

    He was WORSE than “that bad”. Have you ever heard of something called the Iran Contra scandal?

    And oh, by the way, he didn’t defeat the USSR, Carter did. Funding the Taliban’s war against the Soviet’s started under his watch. Ronny just took credit for it.
