Heck, I'll be a clown.

You mentioned there's dispute among economists about the effectiveness of Reagan's policy. To have a few lefties out of some lib university poop on a Republican is no great revelation.

I believe overall tax revenue did increase under Reagan, but it was not from dumb luck or squeezing more money from the exact same amount of tax payers. The tax base was significantly increased, you contend only by code, but never the less more were contributing.

No doubt in my mind, the tax base was significantly increased by putting nonworking citizens from the carter years, back to work and then some.

I believe policy accounts for the overall revenue increase in a growth and productive manner, not by a strategy the squeezes more from less folks, and forcing personal and corporate assets to stay on the sidelines.
