This article isn't about how cool life was for us Americans during Reagan, but whether or not his polices helped or harmed government revenue. Hmmm.... let's see...

Here's government revenue in the BR era (Before Reagan):
FY 1977 $356 billion
FY 1978 $399 billion
FY 1979 $463 billion
FY 1980 $517 billion

Here's the wonderful DR era (During Reagan):
FY 1981 $599 billion
FY 1982 $618 billion
FY 1983 $601 billion
FY 1984 $666 billion
FY 1985 $734 billion
FY 1986 $769 billion
FY 1987 $854 billion
FY 1988 $909 billion

Conclusion: Government revenue increased bigly under Reagan even while Reagan was mostly getting government out of our way.

The real question is: Did Actual President Trump tie his 49-state landslide or beat it?
