"Flat Tax" = trojan horse II. point.3 Before reagan was president, before he was a racist president, excusing south african racists, before he was a racist governor, before he was a mccarthyite fbi informer, before reagan had even met nancy, the ANC was struggling honorably for justice in south africa!!!!
