Not to diminish Reagan’s accomplishment, but all he did was tweak some knobs, which is nothing compared with replacing the entire system as a flat tax, vat, or 9-9-9 would do.
That he managed to have any accomplishment earns him accolades.
However...this Ronaldus Magnus stuff is foolish and self-defeating for conservatives. The idea of the man on the white horse should be anathema to conservatives.
SLASHING the top tax bracket from like 90% to 28% was not just a tweak. The real problem was getting in bed with the Bush’s immediately after Reagan’s 8 years, which enabled them to dismantle what he had done, though the good times rolled on for a long time after that.
