I find it more than questionable to even rate Reagan above average, let alone at the very top. Doing so requires you to either ignore the more terrible aspects...or to just not care.

But you see, Franzl.  A couple one-liners written for him and all is forgiven.  All the poors he created were so uplifted by his Berlin Wall speech that it doesn't even matter that they lost their jobs so Mr. Boss Man could see his salary go stratospheric!  It's all abut happiness it'n it!? 
Wait...what? First you claim that Reagan is responsible for lay-offs, but then you say that they were fired so that their employer could increase their salary?

Uhhh.... more people where made to work harder for the same salary.  I know that's all gravy in your little yellow world, but some of us find it disgusting. 
So, you're claiming that employers increased hours without increasing wages? Or you're claiming that worker productivity rose faster than wages? Which one, and how was it Reagan's fault? And what does that have to do with people being layed off?

Holy ****  I know that "job creators" are infallible to you... but can I spell it out.

1. Reagan help create a business atmosphere that failed to protect workers because he basically appointed the richest people in America to his Cabinet.
2. Mr. Boss Man fired people 
3. Mr. Boss Man had those "lucky" enough to be retained pick up the slack
4. Mr. Boss Man didn't give those people a raise

Less workers.  Same output.  Same wages.  Where does the difference go?  You know where.  And yes... you are a libertarian, and this kind of oppression gives you a nice little L-stiffy.  Well, some of us that have compassion for others disagree. 
What policies did Reagan (or his cabinet members) implement that created this business environment?
