Know Your President: Week Thirty-Two

Party: Republican

Fact One: Tax cuts! This president loved cutting taxes. He dropped the marginal tax rate from 70% to 50%, the capital gains tax from 28% to 20%, tripled the amount under the estate tax, and lowered the corporate tax rate. This was supposed to cause a trickle down effect on the economy.

Fact Two: He dispatched 5000 troops to invade Grenada.

Fact Three: This guy broadened the power of our intelligence community, giving them more power to spy upon American citizens. Yay!

Fact Four: He believed in such a limited government that he cut practically all funding to environmental agencies. He refused to resign the Clean Air Act. 

Fact Five: This Republican president granted amnesty to over three million illegal immigrants!

Quotes: 
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
“Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.”
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
