One example was when he signed into law the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Reagan raised taxes seven of the eight years he was in office and the tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle class.

This is a complete throwaway. It doesn't tell you at all how TEFRA raised taxes on the middle class, nor does it tell us how any tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle classes.

I guess I have to assume that unions are synonymous with the middle class. Yet, I don't see why attacking unions is bad. Unions create inefficiencie, so removing an inefficiency would be a good thing.
