Seriously, though. I don't think Reagan and "Trickle Down" get nearly enough credit for how they led to the economic and moral bankruptcy in this country. We need to bring back the pre-Reagan tax structure in this country.

Of course there were structural shifts that started in the 70s so any graph plotted today would look like Reagan was to blame. Certainly not defending Reagan or Stockman, but am I not sure you can draw conclusions from these.

My entire family of die-hard GOP voters worked their way through U of I, and still insist that anyone can pay their way through college with hard work. That one was aimed squarely at them.
