Appearing on the CBS News program 60 Minutes on Sunday night, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) experienced an awkward moment when he was challenged to admit that his hero, President Ronald Reagan, did in fact raise taxes.
Cantor was speaking with interviewer Lesley Stahl, who asked if he was ready to start compromising with Democrats on taxes. Cantor said he was indeed “ready to cooperate,” but then hedged his response.

It is always funny to watch people squirm when they are confronted with the fact that the Mythical Ronald Reagan is not the same as the actual Ronald Reagan.
Just because you believe something hard enough, does not make it true.
Cantor is in denial about alot of things.
BS. He did not raise marginal tax rates he lowered them. He closed loopholes. That is not raising tax rates it is raising revenue. The SS payroll tax was raise to keep SS solvent a little longer. Revenues double under Reagan and the democrates in congress even out spent that
Selective memory - a la Murdoch's Faux News - Paul Revere rode in his Lincoln Continental to tell the British ... Where is Paul Harvey when we need him? What we got from Ray-gun was was "Trickle Down" the 1% trickling on the rest of the Working Americans - "Don't Tread on Me" ~ Don't Trickle on Me!
More BS. Reagan lessened punishment for success. You liberals have incased generations to poverty and despair with the War on Poverty. It should have been called the war on family and work ethic.
you can't blame Ronnie he did not do ANYTHING but nod and lisp and pretend to be Andy Taylor in an America that imagined itself Mayberry
he had no official capacity
he was a well handled figure head just like GWB
