Reagan a great President? For your answer, just ask the American middel class. If you can find anyone in the American middle class any more after Reagan's cynical fiscal policies laid down the firm foundation to exiscerate and eventually do away with the middle class. He was anti-Union, anti-gay, and the ultimate hypocrite for political gain. Just look into the Iran Contra affair if you want to know the real story about Reagan and you're not sure where to start.
