<<Reagan IGNORED the myth about deficits, lowered taxes, and CREATED a prosperity that lasted until Clinton/Rubin screwed it up by robbing the private sector with the greatest tax theft in history.>>

Your the one peddling a myth.

Reagan raised taxes, twice. In fact Jack Kemp called one of his tax increase the biggest in the history of mankind.

Furthermore you've totally skipped over the recession and stagnant economy that Reagan left Bush, a far worse recession that the amazingly short and mild recession this Bush inherited..

And after Reagan's big tax cut federal revenue fell. It took 3 years to regain the pre-tax cut levels. In fact revenue growth was stronger under Carter, and far stronger under Clinton.
