President Ronald Reagan was a vicious socialist, he and his commie buddies systemically turned America in a tax heavy welfare state. Under his term Ronald Reagan raised taxes every year he was in office. Even while raising taxes he managed to triple the national debt.
Yes he TRIPLED the national debt all while RAISING TAXES EVERY YEAR that he was in office after the first with a total of 11 TAX INCREASES.
Under Reagan the federal government consumed 23.5% of the national income, the highest in American history. This was in 1983, after his big tax cut and reforms. Also the four years in which the federal government consumed most of the nations income were all under Reagan 1983, 1982, 1985, and 1986.
Reagan raised taxes on gasoline and cigarettes in 1982, in 1983 he raised taxes on payrolls (Obama lowered them recently in a deal with the Republican party that allowed them to keep their tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans)
In 1986 Reagan slashed taxes for the top bracket alone, causing a disparity in where the highest earners paid 28% on their income taxes and the bracket beneath that paid 33%. While he slashed taxes for the wealthy he raised the for the poorest americans raising the lowest bracket from 11% to 15%
It's clear that Reagans aim was the socialist goal of wealth redistribution.
He also signed into law a sweeping amnesty act for every illegal immigrant who had entered the country before 1982. HE GRANTED AMNESTY TO EVERY ILLEGAL WHO ENTERED THE COUNTRY BEFORE 1982
I chose to put things in caps and reiterate them because it seems that a lot of people here don't seem to get it the first time when they read something they don't like.
