Technically, if you look at it on an individual basis, he certainly did cut taxes. A person making X amount of income one year, then making the same amount the year after the rate reduction took effect, that individual certainly received a tax cut. I'm not sure what point you're making, as lower taxes results in more economic activity. Reagan did not "increase taxes", his rate decreases (tax cuts) resulted in increased collections, which does not qualify as a tax increase.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
