   Certainly on all those running for president in the republican primaries, even as they spew President Reagan's name in all their speeches, they certainly haven't studied all of what he did.

   They just understand that this is what they need to say to have a possibility to get elected, or get a cabinet post. I mean if you hate a certain segment of the government, say EPA what better position to be posted to! In addition, they also know that the people do not want to know. A minimal percentage vote and these tend to be very polarized, so the candidates can say anything they want. The "liberal" media reports the facts, but science and facts have no place with many voters. The conservatives only listen to one cable outlet and AM radio anyway.

   What he was really trying to do was replace revenue that was lost when he reduced the marginal tax rate on income from 70% to 50%. As the marginal tax rate falls (Now at 35%) the income gap widens. If the "Job Creators" can keep 65 cents of every dollar of income, not just 8 cents as in 1963, why should they offer health care benefits, defined pension plans, or a living wage to their employees. We wouldn't even need Obamacare if the marginal tax rate was the same as it was in 1952: 92% on income over $1,693,431*.

   Must be lonely in the sandbox with no one to play with but yourself. Call Pee-Wee Herman or maybe George Michael. They like to play by themselves too.

   Lonely is not the word I would use. Amazement might be a better word.
