What Reagan Really Said About Taxes

Barack Obamaâ??s appeal to Ronald Reagan is illuminating in a number of ways. Itâ??s illuminating that todayâ??s liberals need to appeal to the example of Reagan to sell their policies. Thatâ??s a posthumous victory for Reagan, and an important contemporary victory for Reaganism. Even more, itâ??s illuminating because it gives us reason to go back and read the Reagan speeches Obama cited and see how compelling they were and how thoroughly the president misrepresented them.
