The irony is that Reagan gets pegged with the "trickle down" label in spite of his policies favoring small businesses, and rank and file, productive Americans.
He did what he could. He was just one man. The even moreso then, corporate, merchantilitst, big gov/big tax RINO GOP staffed 99% of the positions. There just was enough conservative/free market soldiers in the party ranks.
It’s still that way, but the RNC/GOP feels the heat, push back and there are more of our infiltrators now.
Watch out for the Arlen Specter loving David Kean type CINO’s ( Conservatives In Name Only types )
