Ronald Reagan a Socialist?

[outcaster]

Was the beloved Ronald Reagan a socialist? Did he want to re-distribute wealth? Did he think it was ok for a secretary to pay a higher tax rate than her big-money boss? It's ironic, when a Obama calls for fairness in the tax code, he's called a socialist that's hell bent on destroying the nation, stealing hard earned money from one group to pay off another, but when the beloved Ronald Reagan believed and said almost exactly the same thing, it's just good old fashioned common sense. http://www.upworthy.com/ronald-reagan-was-a-freeloading-hippie-socialist-traitor?c=bl1

Couldn't pull the thread up. What most people don't realize is that most of the rich don't have a salary income. So they don't pay income taxes. They recieve investment income or dividends which is taxed at a lower rate than an income they would recieve from a job. The US already has one of the highest investment income tax rates. Everyone forgets that these investments are made with money that has already been taxed once. So if you want to kill the stockmarket and hurt everyones 401K s and retirement investments. Then vote for Obama and support the Buffet rule. Its a complete joke to say this is about fairness. If Obama really wanted fairness he would push for some kind of Flat Tax. What the Left won't tell you is that the top 10% of all income earners basically pay all the taxes. So this is nothing but class warfare. Pit the have nots against the haves. Question what did we use to call the Govt forcing one person to produce for another? Oh yeah Slavery!!!!!!

Now its Reagan's fault...too funny. All you Obama supporters have fun finding a doctor that will accept your guberment insurance card when your employer drops your exsisting plan. Thats exactly what is going to happen. When one big corporation does it the others will follow because the company can pay the fine and still save billions each year, then you will be FORCED to go on OBAMA care which will be worthless to any decent doctor. Obama is a damn Muslim Communist plain and simple. His track record speaks for itself the 4 years he has been in office. Where is all the great CHANGE he was gonna bring...all the televised bipartisan efforts ?? He is a LIAR and a disgrace to this great nation that once stood for freedom and liberty. Only thing i have seen since he took office is My insurance premiums go up and the benifits go down...and the price of fuel go up up up!!! Do I have respect for him..HELL NO!!! He claims to be christian....yet obviously goes against every Christian belief ive ever known...and the so called birth certificate he produced to say he was native born??? I know i do not believe it...its a fake...just like he is. He is not even legal to be President let alone worthy!!! How much is the national debt now compared to when he took office?? How much is the deficit?? Oh yea...all thats Bush's fault!!!! You crack me up!!

Did anyone actually view the Ronald Reagan speech?

It didn't load. But if Regan wanted to force redistribution of wealth then he should be called out as well.

"Is it fair that the richest 10 percent of Americans shoulder a higher share of their country's income-tax burden than do

the richest 10 percent in every other industrialized nation, including socialist Sweden?"

Or as economist Art Laffer asked, is it fair that American corporations pay the highest corporate tax rate in the world?

Beyond taxes, again quoting Moore, "Is it fair that President Obama sends his two daughters to elite private schools

that are safer, better-run and produce higher test scores than public schools in Washington, D.C. — but millions of

other families across America are denied that free choice and forced to send their kids to rotten schools?"

What is Fair????

OK why on Gods green earth do the liberal tree huggers ALWAYS bring up what some past Republican said?? Thats the past get over it.. BOTH parties have made huge mistakes and members of both have shamed the position they hold and the democratic system.. They all need to go!!! The people should then put in place certain rules and policies that anybody in office must abide by..

1. Congress shall make or pass no law that only includes or excludes said congress.
2. All politicians should get no pay or benefits when they leave office.. I did 20 years in the US Navy riding submarines and still have to pay for my health insurance. And I can tell you if I had been forced to resign for tweeting pics of my junk all over the internet I would have got NOTHING
3. No bill should contain more than 5 items and or be in excess of 250 pages.. OH yeah didnt Pelosi's statement about Obama care tickle you... We have to pass the bill to read whats in it.. Oh yeah lets see 16,000 new IRS agents !!! But its not a tax.. But the supreme court said it is!!
