Reagan went from a liberal Democrat, supporting FDR in the 1930`s and later Truman in 1948. To voting for Eisenhower in 52&56, Nixon in 60 and Goldwater in 64. The GE years were definitely an eye opener for Reagan. Just about his entire acting career, Reagan paid 90% of his earnings to the Federal government. 20 years of that in your face social liberalism changed Reagan's entire persceptive on life. Made him a staunch fiscal conservative in the 1950`s, and later by the 1970`s a preety strict social conservative.
I think Ronnie son Michael Reagan mention that long time ago
