Reader comment on: NYT on Reagan's 100th
in response to reader comment: State and municipalities have to make up the shortfall

Reagan's action shifted the tax burden from the wealthy to the poor. That was the original point that was made. Whether the government is spending too much or too little is a separate question from who should be funding the government. If government were a tenth the size, it could still be that we have a regressive tax system.
