"Those voices don't speak for the rest of us":

[boiseguy]

reagan was a good man... but his policies were very much flawed... this notion that the rich create jobs and prosperity for everyone through trickle down economics is absurd and what started this nation down the road of borrow and spend.
the rich don't make things happen in this country.. the middle class do...

Speaking of opened borders, wasn't it Reagan that gave million of illegals AMNESTY?

Absolutely correct during his tenure.

Case in point.
