    How does any sane person not see that?

    Probably has something to do with his deporting more people than the previous 3 presidents combined, and net immigration from Mexico being not just 0, but negative. IE, they're going back (btw, didn't Romney have a dream about that?).

    also, you give Reagan far too much credit, both for the allusion to ending communism, and to reducing the legacy of Lenin.
    the person who did the most to undermine Lenin's legacy was Stalin.

    maybe because Lenin, like Mao, or Che, or Lincoln, is only really important in one nation.
    and yes, there are still plenty of Lenin statues around Russia, and hes still seen as a great leader there, with his tomb being a very popular destination.

    this may come as a shock to you...but the US isn't the only nation in the world to have large public displays of its cultural heroes, especially in its capitol.

    but if you cant remember that, you may have also forgotten the Bitburg Controversy, another (in a series) and embarrassing incidents for Reagan.

    you got questions? great. they've probably already been answered.

    see this great big pile of evidence? if you want to be treated seriously as a 'skeptic', you need to gather an equally large pile of evidence if you want to be taken seriously. until then, you're just a crank whos ignoring the existing evidence, that is only growing larger by the day.

    and we should force them all to pay more.
    the richer you are, the more you benefit from the society (and government) that has supported you.
    therefore the more you should pay is return.

    the greatest period of prosperity this nation ever had (or humanity in general) happened when the rich were taxed the most, we gave free college to nearly half the working population (ie, the WWII and Korean veterans), had a high livable minimum wage.

    the concentration of wealth only further exacerbates stagnant economies as it only floats the boats of the few, and powerful. and as the less powerful get poorer, and spend less and consume less, these folks know that eventually their ride will come to and end because you cant have a consumer economy when no one is left to consume.

    redistribution lifts all boats, and in the end allows the rich to get richer for longer and with more stability than the next quarter projections economy that exists now.

    more than likely conform to the common accepted usage, rather than the technical.
