You point to a trend that reversed because of Reagan. That assumes the trend reversed by Reagan actually began at some point, when? That is the basis of my point, pick your own date or simply tell us what the basis of your premise was. Also, share with us the evidence of the trend reversal. I have no hidden agenda, I am not being humerus, I simply ask for elaboration because I think your premise is wrong. If your premise is a solid one, it should be able to stand up to questions.
