What is your point? Are you saying the tax increases caused the Reagan economic boom? Are you saying that the increased taxes we are now experiencing is a good thing, in economic terms? Reagan's policies provided more economic freedom in the private sector. Are you saying that the current highest-in-the-world corporate taxes are good? Are you denying this? True, deductions were reduced or eliminated which did affect some people, but the overall economic conditions improved. You can quibble all you want, again, what is your point?
I would suggest that you practice reading and comprehension, and quit injecting irrelevant and superfluous points into the discussion. My point is the same as it has been since the beginning of this discussion: Reagan did not cut TAXES, he cut TAX RATES, and tax collections increased immediately as a direct result of his restructuring of the tax code. Bottom line: he took more money from all of us, on an aggregated basis, not less.
