Just one more word on the subject. You know, im sure, you know, as a fellow political scientist, you agree with the generalizations are true until they are not, and so one of the interesting things about the reagan tax reform, of course, is that it was not the first two yearings of the first term.

The whole deniers castle can look pretty da
