What a bunch of bullshit. First, the Reagan tax cuts were at their first of his tenure, and he kept raising taxes after that. So, his tax cuts were something like twelve years before Clinton's tax increases.
Which, BTW, the right said would cause an immediate Great Depression. Instead, they fueled an economic boom.
Now my first response to reading a post like mine would be to google "Reagan major corporate tax cut" and after reading a bit I would learn that in 1986 a majority of Senate and House Democrats voted to reduce corporate taxes from 48% to 34%. This was to put U.S. corporations on an even footing with tax rates in competitive nations - just like we recently did(but without any Democrats). So in 1987 the corporate tax rate was substantially lower and Clinton was the beneficiary.
Also, Clinton admitted in 1995 that he raised the taxes too much. He was also smart enough to only raise the corporate tax by 1%. And he brought back the Capital Gains rate Reagan had eliminated.
