I will call foul on this. The Reagan 'tax cuts' also featured rollbacks and tax increases in both 1981 and 1982. Additionally Reagan compensated throughout his administration by increasing the payroll tax. As such, the Reagan tax cuts, and their effect on the economy is misleading. Reagan benefited by being in office during a natural cyclical economic upswing. Those supposed tax cuts and their effects are largely ahistorical and used as propoganda by so-called 'Reagan Conservatives' to justify thier image of big government.

I like you Haplo, but I think you are wrong here.
