straight from the guy who thinks Ronald Reagan didn't cut taxes but rather shifted the tax burden onto the poor, aka the same guy who thinks Saint Abe's income tax and exhorbitant tariffs were small potatoes, aka the same guy who just advocated free government handout giveaways of all the land of the United States.

Now where did I ever say that the tax burden was shifted to the poor?

But, once again, were the taxes higher on the middle class after 8 years of Reagan or not?

Where did I say the tarrif was 'small potatoes', it just pales in comparsion to a personal income tax.

As for giving away the public land-why not?

That is not Marxism, that is the ownership society being put into place by Bush today.

You guys really do have reading problems don't you.

Now where did I ever say that the tax burden was shifted to the poor?

You said the tax burden was shifted and you said Social Security was the means that it was shifted - the claim that is always put forward by the left to accuse Reagan of taxing the poor. If not the poor, then exactly who do you believe he shifted the tax burden to?

But, once again, were the taxes higher on the middle class after 8 years of Reagan or not?

And once again they were not.

You certainly dismissed it as much. You also dismissed Abe's income tax by neglecting to even acknowledge it.

As for giving away the public land-why not?

Because it is not the government's job to ration the public lands out to persons it selects on its own whim. The fairest rationing mechanism is the free market, and that means selling the land at market value.
