“For my tax plan, I take a page out of one of my great economists that I admire, Ronald Reagan,” Bachmann boasted. “And under my tax plan I want to adopt the Reagan tax plan. It brought the economic miracle of the 1980s. Why not go with what works? I want to reinstitute the Reagan tax model from the 1980s.”

Seriously, of the non-pros in the GOP, Bachmann is the worst of them all. Her lack of knowledge of history and policy is amazing. And she takes pride on it. Sadly, no one in the GOP will stand to her since they probably believe the same idiotic things or are willing to lie.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Please do. It would be a start…
What an ignorant lunatic she is. Unbelievable!
Uhhhh… go Michelle?
I wonder if that crowd realizes that Obama is more like Reagan, policy-wise, than any of them. This is why Democrats need to stop accommodating Republicans. You go a little to the right to come to a compromise, they run madly even further right to maintain their position on the right side of the room. Someone should put up a wall over there.
If Ronald Reagan tried to run today, the GOP would probably call him a liberal, pinko, communist, fascist, Nazi (or some combination thereof. They don’t know what the words mean, but they know they mean Evil or something.).
The left moved right, and the right moved to a mental institution.

Perry is actually worse. He’s just quieter, which makes him a bit more dangerous.
I think going back to Reagan era top brackets and capital gains rates is an excellent idea.
Would still keep the 2009 Making Work Pay tax cut and the 2010 Payroll Tax Holiday for businesses that are interested in hiring. Plow the extra revenue into infrastructure spending, the country’s falling apart you know, to prop up demand and once the recovery starts, slowly cut military spending to a reasonable level and start working on those deficits. Depending on how things go it might be possible to get some real health care reform underway in a couple more years.
