CEO Salary Limit

Another informative and well-reasoned post by the amazing miss damyanti!

I will be showing my age here but I was in my 20s when Reagan entered office. During his tenure in office none of us thought he was that great a president. A lot of the folks in California also knew what he was like from his tenure as Governor and were none to happy about the result.

I am a lazy debater, unlike the good damyanti, so most of my information will be anecdotal or badly cited.

First of all, Reagan raised taxes during his administration and the whole golden legacy of Reagan is based mainly on a legacy project developed by the Conservative Heritage Foundation whitewashing that legacy.

And I can't add much to damyanti's post but to add my two cents about Carter. He was eaten alive by Washington which caused his reputation to suffer. But to me, and a lot of people, he is the best EX-President we have had.

Instead of gathering money in speaking fees, he has been active in helping the world, not just the nation. To me his service to the country has always been selfless, unlike most of our other living ex-Presidents.
