Reagan had the sense to do an across the board tax cut, lowering the top rate to 28%.

And Reagan did it with a democrat-controlled House!

Jack Kemp was the prime mover in the Reagan Tax cut. Reagan didn't not want 30% it was too much but the settled on a 10-10-10 over three years and called it 30%.

They also removed almost every tax deduction for the middle class and called it simplification. Remember there was supposed to be a postcard form that anyone could fill out, instead there are probably a 100,000 pages of tax code.

Congress will never make it simple because it is where they make the bulk of their under the table money.

In Reagan’s time, Democrats were Democrats. Now, they’re Socialists and Communists. A whole ‘nother breed.
