His political existence was about how taxes were so unfair for those who could afford everything the world tossed at them - and the notion that everyone has the exact same opportunity in America to prosper just like him.

Don't ever tell those who purport to have 'Christian values' like Reagan their policies are more akin to 'Social Darwinism' than the 'Golden Rule.'
