Reagan cared so little about this country that he stayed in office even when he couldn't remember two sentences of a prepared speech. That's despicable.

The Reagan revolution was simply the rolling back of all the gains of the last century in order to line the pockets of a few families. Republicans aren't REPUBLICANS, they're autocrats, dictators and secret monarchists.

Face it. You guys are despicable.

Thank you for playing now go vacation in Iraq over the holidays.

:)

Only a leftie could think "high taxes" are good.

I prefer to be in a higher tax bracket. You too can be in a lower tax bracket. Working at Wal-Mart would be one strategy.

If you're interested in the "big picture"...

There are variances between states. Some states have higher taxes than others. Some states have higher costs of living. The Tax Foundation, has taken that all into consideration and publishes Tax Freedom Day by State. Where do you get the most bang for your buck? Where are the very best places [States] to live in the US? Where do you get to keep the largest amount of your money? The Tax Foundation answers those questions.

taxfoundation.org

The five best States to live in are:

1. Alaska
2. Alabama
3. Tennessee
4. South Dakota
5. Mississippi

The five worst States to live in are:

1. Connecticut
2. New York
3. New Jersey
4. Massachusetts
5. Wyoming

If you are unfortunate and don't live in one of those "best" States, pack your bags, move to any one of those States and enjoy spending your money.

Interesting....the five best States are red States; 4 out of 5 of the worst States are blue States.

You've draw a very skewed chart, distorted for drama. Clinton's gains with "high taxes" too shames Ronnie Ray Gun's pitiful performance. I guess peace, stability and government fiscal sanity works better than Voodoo economics, sabre rattling and debt?

No comment on chimpenomics? It's WAY more pitiful than even Ronnie Ray Gun's Voodoo!

Oh, and I'm not FOR taxes, but if the government is going to assist me in becoming wealthy and spend them wisely, I don't mind them. The chimp is spending the wealth of our children to cut our taxes NOW. That's not only stupid, it's evil.
