^No, Tigger, it was actually “born” back in 1985 with “Gramm, Rudmann, Holings” that set the legislative base for the idiocy Republicans would blow out of proportion and intent. It was also used by Republicans and Reagan’s folks to try, then too, to lay blame on the Democrats, falsely.
“…Oh, the bottom tax rate was 45%…”It never was. In fact low income people paid a lot less taxes because the Social Security tax rate was much lower and so were sales taxes. You seem to say a lot of things you can’t possibly believe; why is that?
