I haven't seen it posted here, so I thought I'd mention it. Does anyone remember Reagan's speech when he talked about taxing millionaires? I find it amusing that the right-wing extremists act as though Reagan was the second coming, but reject raising taxes on millionaires.

Skip ahead to around 12:45 for Reagan's views on loopholes for millionaires.

Taxing more and closing loopholes (I.e. simplifying the tax code) aren't strictly the same.

In the video Reagan talked about it being wrong that millionaires pay less than middle class workers. So the point I make is a valid one.
 
WB is correct.

Many of Reagan's beliefs and actions wouldn't pass muster with many of today's conservatives, yet they continue to blindly revere him.
