1. Tax cuts... which were followed by an increase in revenues.
Jem, We've been through this many times now. There are no examples of revenue increases following on the heels of tax cuts that were not also accompanied by increased government borrowing and spending. To put it in very plain English, it is either tax increases or government spending fueled by borrowing that increases revenues, not tax cuts. So what is your point?

2. Look at maps of countries influenced by the United Soviet Socialist Republics before and after Reagan.
You're once again on shaky ground, suggesting, I suppose, that Reagan had something to do with Soviet disintegration. Possibly he did, but there is no good evidence to support that view. Consider, however, that a number of Soviet experts predicted the Soviet fall long before Reagan was President. Moynihan, for example, predicted it when he was in Ford's Cabinet. In fact, Moynihan was so adamant in his view that he became somewhat of an embarrassment to the administration, and according to Moynihan, Ford fired him. (In truth, Moynihan, sensing that Ford was going to fire him, resigned.)
