Cut taxes...for real, then and there.He did cut taxes, then raised them in 1983, and raised the SS tax in 1984. He also, along with Dan Rostenkowski, sent real estate into a funk in 1986 by eliminating selected tax breaks for rental real estate owners.
Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century, but he got snookered by the Democrats on tax policy and did less to advance the pro-life agenda in 8 years than Bush has done in 2.

Ok, I'll concede. I will give Ron a 6.5, and lower Bush Jr. to a 3. Bush Sr. get a 2.

Are you claiming that Bush is more pro-life than Reagan. Is that a joke? There would have been no pro-life movement without Reagan. Reagan first instituted the Mexico City policy. Reagan did not start government subsidy to carry out fetal stem-cell research. Bush did. Reagan was the first to talk about a Constitutional amendment to ban abortion. Bush probably does not even know what it means.
