My point is this was a VERY popular and bipartisan effort.  NOT a Reagan/republican scheme to line the pockets of the rich or corporations.  My guess is based on your previous relationship with the republican party at the time... even you were supportive of this measure... :)

And I was wrong.

I may blow this quote up and frame it!!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Quotea republican scheme to line the pockets of the rich and the corporations.

Quite a feat... since he raised taxes on corporations...

QuoteThe tax reform was designed to be revenue neutral, but because individual taxes were decreased while corporate taxes were increased,

Not an economist here... would not pretend to be.  I can say "I was wrong" too.  While you were supporting Reagan and his cuts... I (embarrassingly) supported Jimmy Carter.  Boy... Was I wrong!  (I too blame it on youth!)

I did come around though and saw the light.  I watched interest rates come down... I watched the economy pick up steam...  I saw this country turn it around... and it never really slowed... until Bush's last year.

Once again... for the record... while called the Reagan tax cuts... the bill was actually sponsored by Democrats.  I suppose they could have been a part of the republican scheme... but I doubt it.
