again look at coolidge. 3% was the top of inflation for coolidge. often he had no inflation or deflation. counted another way, if you add $100 in 1980, the year reagan was elected, and bought some things and you wanted to buy the same things in 1988, you would need $150. do the same math for coolidge and this is off the bureau of labor statistics website. what you could buy for $100 in 1922 the year before coolidge was president, it would cost you $101.79. not much difference. this generated an enormous ek wi anymorety in the american soul. your money is worth what you think. taxes. one of the proudest feats of reagan and one we love and admire was to reduce the marginal rate on the income tax of 28%. it was said they conversed in pauses. laboring, laboring, laboring, they got the tax rate down not to 28, but 25. their capital gains rate was 12.5%. in other words coolidge out-reaganed reagan on tax. governor jim did address the deficit. he did address the debt, but they're very important. as you know reagan not only increased spending 22%, but also

coolidge continued to cut. this time, all the way down to 25% for income over a hundred thousand dollars. the final top rate was even lower than ronald reagan's top tax rate of 28%. and the government collected tax revenue budget surplus reducing the national debt from $23.2 billion to $16.9 billion in 1929. not only did president coolidge cut the sign of government, but he vastly improved economic performance. gross domestic products grew substantially under coolidge. during the years of second term in office from 1924 to 1929, gdp grew adjust inflation. that is significantly higher than we've seen in recent years. and the stock market grew by 200%. so, ultimately today, when considering both the man and the mod model, we recognize that his demeanor delivered better government and his presidency created economic stable. thank you.

calvin coolidge did just that. because we understand that demeanor defines us as candidates, that economy ought to be the priority, and that a good foreign policy is a friendly foreign policy, we are proud to support both the man and the model of president calvin coolidge. thank you. >> the most terrifying words in the english language are i'm from the government. and i'm here to help. these sentiments from president reagan in 1986 highlight the disillusionment with politics that too many voters experience even today in 2015. in this speech, i'll be examined how today's gop hopefuls can best improve their campaigns through three questions. first, which model best attracts voters to the gop party? second, which model best bolsters america's economy and provides benefits for the common person? and third, which model best reasserts america's global presence? but on to the first question, which model best attracts voters to the gop party? there are a series of populations, the republican party should be concerned about

we already told you how military engagement under calvin coolidge was a last resort and should always be a last resort because if you can resolve an international conflict with peace, that should always be prioritized over war. but fundamentally calvin coolidge was the man and model for driving the republican party in his time, it is also because he'll be able to drive the republican party in the future in today's society we are proud to propose. >> great debate. >> good job. >> great debate. >> all right. how about a big hand for the debate?
