Ten Myths about the Reagan Presidency

Do your homework. What was the top marginal rate when Reagan took office? What was it when he left?

Your English skills are atrocious. "English" is capitalized, by the way. Physician heal thyself.
Actually english is not capitalized..

Now, regarding the title of the thread;
What taxes have been cut by this President?
Thanks for ignoring the fact that Reagan raised taxes more than any President in history..I figured you'd ignore it when your hero does it. To actually answer your question. Here's a little something...

What are the 2009 & 2010 Obama Tax Cuts?

  • So long as Obama’s plan does as it promises, you will see:
  • A tax refund of $500 per individual ($1,000 per married couple) if you’re making under $200,000 ($250,000 if married). If under those thresholds you will also not see your tax rate increase.
  • If you’re a homeowner and don’t itemize your taxes, you can claim a 10% Universal Mortgage Credit. This averages out to $500 per homeowner.

And the $600B in NEW taxes does what to the $500 cut?

Liberals are amazing.. "My taxes were cut, see, look, he cut this tax, and that tax... Oooh those tax increases that are more than the cuts, they dont count"..

When you learn that the space goes after the comma, and that only one period is necessary to stop a sentence, then you can come and talk to me about English grammar, my friend.

Peace.



P.S. English is not my native language.

oooh I know.. I know...
1981- married filing jointly, had a maximum marginal tax rate of 70%
1989 - Married filing jointly, had a maximum marginal tax rate of 28%.

Family making $50K a year, under Reagan dropped from 49% to 28%

Anyone who thinks Obama cut taxes more than Reagan is just being foolish..
