The brief way to describe this is to say that Ronald
Reagan wanted there to be lower taxes. He wanted the government to make fewer laws
regulating what companies could do. Finally, he wanted to cut government funding to
various types of social programs.
Pres. Reagan wanted to do
these things because he was a conservatives. Conservatives, in general, want there to
be less government. They especially think that the government should not regulate
businesses -- they do not like minimum wage laws, for example. Conservatives also thing
that social programs like welfare should be reduced so that people would have to find
work instead of being able to live off government help.
