I voted for Ronald Reagan because that was a major plank in his platform, delete the Federal Department of Education, that and kill the "double nickle" speed limit.
Most everyone praises Reagan for his income tax cuts, truth is Jack Kemp had to fight him tooth and tong to get the 30 % income tax cut, which really turned out to be a 10, 10, 10 which equals 27.1%. Even worse most deductions were removed. Little things like tax on interest, gasoline tax, cigarette tax...........You get the idea.
Reagan was the best president in my memory, and I remember how revered FDR was.
