A REAGAN CONSERVATIVE?

I have always admired and respected President Ronald Reagan since I heard him speak on TV for Barry Goldwater in 1964 ... He seemed so clear what he believed in ... His unwavering principles.

What is A Reagan Conservative?

I have always been fond of Reagan’s triad model of conservatism, wherein the stool is held up by the three legs of values, national defense, and free markets.

The 3 legs of a Reagan Conservative are:


SOCIAL ISSUES ................... VALUES
ECONOMIC ISSUES ................. FREE MARKETS
NATIONAL DEFENSE ISSUES .........MUSCULAR DEFENSE

People who conform to these principles are called Reagan Conservatives ...

Reagan set out to cut income taxes, to reduce the Federal Budget, to increase defense spending, and to deregulate U.S. business.

Reagan's economic plans were built on a theory called supply-side economics. This theory asserts that when taxes are cut, the money that is put back into the economy stimulates the production of more goods and services, thereby increasing jobs, with the result that more taxes are generated than were cut at the beginning of the process.

I would consider myself to be a Reagan Conservative.
