4. I cannot understand their fantasy

Reagan was the beginning of the end for the middle class. This guy made sure that any and all funds were looped back to the corporations and other big-contributors to his campaign. Reagan distained the middle class and the poor. Remember, he wanted to count ketchup as a vegetable for under privileged children in their school lunch. He gave arms to what is now Al Queda and (the late) Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein (there are photos with Rumsfeld and others). Reagan was not a good, kind man. That's a fantasy created by the GOP.
