How Does Republican Platform Help Middle Class?

OK, I'm a Democrat. I registered back when the age to register dropped from 21 to 18. Nixon was in the White House, so I registered Democrat. No-brainer, eh?I remember when Reagan instituted his big "tax reduction". At the time, I was lower-middle-class with an income around $33,000 per year. My taxes literally doubled! Ever since then, whenever the Republicans start talking about reducing taxes, I get very worried!

Ooh, when was that?I was 18, 19, or 20 at that time. Prime draft bait. I remember the KRLA (Los Angeles) "Credibility Gap" broadcasts of the Republican convention's death knowl of "Four more years, four more years."Com'on! How were we to anticipate the total Republican assholes who were to follow him? (and keep in mind my absolute abhorance of that term, "asshole") ?
