You got pwned on your last post, so now you're trying to move the goalposts with a dishonest argument. The "Reagan Tax plan" brought tax rates to a certain specific level, which were higher than they are today.

Bachmann is a Liberal Democrat now?

who'da thunk it.

I got pwned??? In your dreams, Sangha. If you want to discuss Reagan's Tax Plan, I'm your gal. If you just want to bash Bachmann because she's a woman or because you're afraid of her, or because you think it's cute, I'll leave you to your own box of rocks.

1.Reduce Growth of Government spending. (OMG!!! What a horrible thing!!!)

Indeed, it is a horrible thing if you NEED that spending to avert a depression, or serious recession. Or if voters actually WANT that spending to support a social safety net.

2.Reduce Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. (OMG!!! What a horrible thing!!!)

Yes, it is a horrible thing if you don't have enough revenue to pay for the spending that most Americans want.

3.Reduce Government regulation. (OMG!!! What a horrible thing!!!)

Absof*ckinlutely a horrible thing if, as we've seen very recently, a paucity of regulation allows the free market to go haywire and implode.

4.Control the money supply to reduce inflation. (OMG!!! What a horrible thing!!!)

That was Volckenomics -- not Reaganomics.

if there is one thing Sangha is not, is a misogynist.
