that sounds very similar to a child sticking his fingers in his ears and yelling “na na na, I can’t hear you”.

Reagan advocated for closing loopholes that allowed millionaires to pay little to no taxes. Obama is advocating millionaires paying an even higher percentage of their income than they already do. It's not the same thing, it's just edited to make it look that way.

He is the Watchman you know. The Watchman can never be too careful when he is observing.

“For some reason there are some freepers that are behaving rude towards me for doing so”

yeah I found that to be true as well. I wouldn't put trolls past the idea of passing themselves off as Freepers and trying to disenfranchise conservatives with extreme views or outright insults.

Stay true - your post was great.

Thank you for the very informative title and avoidance of the shift key.

For some reason there are some freepers that are behaving rude towards me for doing so. That equally as shocking to me.

Grow a skin buddy, you've been a freeper for 10 years. You should know how this site works by now.

Why the hell do you think my skin has anything to do with anything?? You pompous jackass. The attitude of yours is shocking. That does NOT mean I feel injured ya nitwit. It means the reaction to this link is not what it should be. For some reason there are a lot of cowardly people posting on this thread who refuse to think about what is in that link and choose to attack me instead to conceal their cowardliness. That is not very reassuring.

there’s nothing in that speech about loopholes. The soundbite of reagan talking about loopholes must not be from that speech you linked to.

The word loophole appears twice in the speech I linked.
The exact quotes from your video are in the speech I linked.

Guess you need to look again if you missed it

I was not asking you for any context.

But there was context. I was around back then; Reagan was pushing to flatten the tax code (which he succeeded at) , but he needed Democrat votes to do it , so thats why he talked about closing loopholes in the context of lowering overall tax rates.

Context is everything. The fact that you are "shocked" that he would speak about loopholes this way in order to get a revision to the tax code that would deliver exactly that, shocks me that you are such a blithering nincompoop.

I think you need to re read what you responded to and then retract your post. the president I was shocked by was the current one. NOT reagan.
