to help those in need? you mean by giving tax cuts to corporations and businesses, supply side economics, cutting welfare, trickle down theory, Reagan was not a man of the people, he was in it for himself and his corporate sponsors |

He wrote a $400 personal check to a woman on welfare. Is that more or less caring about the people? |

That show pissed me off. Don't get me wrong Reagan was good president, but greatest?? Please.
There are many presidents way ahead of him and the only way he won that poll was because his death stirred up emotions. |

I am beginning to subscribe to the Hamiltonian belief that the American public is an ignorant beast. I hope one day they can persuade me otherwise. :( |
