It looks like it's impossible to have an open debate with you where enquirer and investigation is appreciated. I doubt whether you've looked at one of the graph's I provided. Because if you had, you wouldn't have made such a preposterous post. Additionally, you have neglected to answer one of the dozen or so questions I've asked. So, why should I bother responding anymore. You're having a conversation with yourself...have fun... later....

Historical Revision Watch (Again!): The key to the Reagan tax cuts was that the 70% top rate was dropped immediately in 1981 to 50% (later all the way down to 28%). The rush of liberal madness since then has only managed to raise it back to 41%. That's why this prosperity carries Reagan's name, and the current recession carries Clinton's shame. Yes, Scum, it's all about that evil top tax rate when real long-term growth of the private sector is in question. While taxation issues were way over Dole's head (as were most issues), painting him as a liberal tax hound is a bit much. To his good, when cornered, he always argued that the obscenities he perpetrated as majority leader were reasonable trade-offs to prevent even greater liberal atrocities. The Republican objections to him were that it was not always apparent, other than to him, what he had gotten in many of the deals. The other main objection to Dole-and one I'm sure even most liberals share-is that trading away ones principles before even sitting down at the table usually results in a deal far more deficient than what one might have gotten by standing for something. For that reason, Reagan was an infinitely better negotiator, and made a far better president than Dole ever would have...
