And the American people didn't care that the huge tax cut (3% of GDP) of ERTA 1981, was followed with tax increases (1% of GDP) with TEFRA 82.
Sheesh, is Reagan's status as modern day conservative saint so fragile that we can't speak of documented events in the public record?
You don't get it at all and probably never will. Every American that earned income got a tax cut, taxes were increased on use items and loopholes were cut back to the intent of those taxes in the first place. Taxes were created to fund certain programs and services and loopholes were created. Reagan eliminated many of those loopholes. Most people benefited from the Reagan stimulus which had no spending in it and actually stimulated the private sector which created the jobs. Sorry but you apparently weren't old enough to understand the conditions Reagan inherited and the leadership shown
