No doubt that he reduced tax rates. But that's not what you initially stated, either in this thread or in the one from a few months ago. You stated that he reduced taxes across the board, and that is not the case. Reagan increased tax collections while reducing tax rates, by restructuring the tax code. A good bit of sleight of hand and it seems to have fooled a lot of people who weren't paying close attention, either at that time, or now. Regardless of your political philosophy, it was an accounting trick that had positive economic repercussions. Regardless, it's still incorrect to claim that he reduced taxes.
