"SNIP...........

1. On past tax cut plans

"In two minutes, Senator Cruz is going to tell you that if we give tax breaks to the billionaires like George W. Bush did, like Ronald Reagan did, we're going to create zillions of jobs and you're all going to become very, very rich, that we have a trickle-down economic theory, tax breaks for the wealthiest people, the largest corporations, and, whoa, everything is good. That is a totally fraudulent theory."

2. On the Kochs' support for tax cuts

"Now, the Trump Republican tax proposal that's before us today, this proposal is being pushed by Senator Cruz's campaign contributors, some of the wealthiest people in this country, by the Koch brothers, who are worth $90 billion. Why are they pushing this agenda? Because 80 percent of the tax breaks in this proposal will go to the top 1 percent."

3. On the Bush tax cuts

"Under President Bush, he did it. He gave tax breaks. And you know what happened? He gave tax breaks to the rich. And you know what happened? We lost 500,000 private sector jobs, and the national debt almost doubled under Bush."

4. On the long-term effects of the Reagan tax cuts

"So this idea — of giving tax breaks to large corporations — is basically a fraud. Listen to what Ronald Reagan's domestic policy advisor Bruce Bartlett said. He said that virtually every Republican, what every Republican says about taxes today, is a lie. Reagan's OMB director David Stockman said that the idea that closing loopholes and adding growth will pay for trillions in cuts, quote, 'is just completely fanciful and irresponsible.'"

1. Reagan was an empty suit.

People have claimed he was so smart, he was a D lister actor that named names to McCarthy then had a TV show with a chimp that was more popular than he was. He had great speech writers, all he did was hit his mark say his lines and showed that massive disrespect to all Americans. He was a nobody that made it big and forgot where he came from. Granted he never went back to the boonies so people would always think he was from the cool state California. A state he weakened when he went after public education a system Pat Brown made and was once a shining star in America and he couldn't abide by that.

Reagan wanted to tear apart the very system that saved the country during WWII that he avoided by dressing up as a soldier and making propaganda films in San Diego. He was a fraud and a propagandist.
