It destroyed the construction business.

I hadn't paid taxes since 1976 with a 6 figure income every year and have to pay taxes every year since with an income under $50K in each of the years.

That tax increase stopped all residential construction and by 1992 those animals had moved into commercial with their illegal alien help and I was forced to close a 57 year old business.

All I know is I paid less tax, without having given a thought to tax planning, much less hiring a tax planner. And the overall economy grew at the same time. Reagan was brilliant!

And that's how it should work. Americans should not need tax planners to prosper.
