How do you know that today’s Republicans are out of touch with middle class America? They make Reagan, who I thought was a very conservative guy, look rather liberal relative to 
their stances.
Afterall; Reagan supported a lenient immigration policy, Reagan supported unions, and Reagan supported debt extensions.
As shown below Reagan was even for taxing the rich equitably. So far the Tea Party & Right Wing Republicans have come out against all of those things their idol, Ronald Reagan stood for. The middle class better wake up.
