What does that mean Michael? That, "The Tax Load increased 65% under Reagan"?
This is what your response was, after being called out on the deceitful hate and smear writing far left extremist liberal who wrote for the comedy publication, "The Onion"; Joshua Green, when I wrote on April 29th, first quoting Mr. Green: *"As one might expect, most gloss over or completely avoid mentioning the many embarrassing and outright alarming aspects of his presidency: from consulting astrologers to his fixation with biblical doom to the tortured rationalizations that enabled him to believe that he never traded arms for hostages."* None of this of course, is even remotely true, nor is Green's assertion regarding Reagan raising taxes four times, or most of Green's allegations that besmirch the Reagan legacy. But what is one to expect from a fiction writer from "The Onion", who was only 7 years of age when President Reagan was elected. ============== No question, Mr. Green alleged that President Reagan raised federal income taxes, and you were all supportive of Mr. Green's column until someone questioned the veracity of his statistics. The same holds true for Lew Rockwell, when he posted this prevaricate piece of garbage, you stood by it until I posted statistics that clearly demonsrated Mr. Rockwell is a hate filled lying Moonbat: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/politicalforum/Reagan$27s$20Fraud$20and$20Friedman$27s$20Mistake%7Csort:relevance/politicalforum/xhEYVUmQwgY/JyDRI68JaFEJ So again, I ask you, what does "Increasing The Tax Load By 65 Percent" mean to you?
