8. This is my take on Reagan
Reagan was a Democrat when he was poor and the country was in a Depression.

When Reagan's movie career faltered, GE rescued him by hiring him to shill for them, a job Reagan kept for 10 years. GE gave Ronnie money and success, so in Ronnie's mind corporations (and Repbulicans)were good and government(along with Democrats) was bad.

(I do NOT agree with Ronnie's conclusion!)
