Geesh, much of that party has changed to be heartless, cold bastards. It's true - Reagan would be far too "liberal" for the John Birchers inhabiting the current GOP Grandee base.

That's bull. The fraction of Americans not paying any income tax has been climbing year after year. 49.5% now, so you're getting what you prefer - many people not paying anything.

Tax cuts for the rich? Better get a new set of talking points, since the "rich" are paying more and more. Who's going to get the tax cuts, the people not paying anything?
