Why was Reagan such a corrupt asshole?
<|assistant|>
Former US President Ronald Reagan was a highly controversial figure due to his staunch support of conservative policies and foreign policy decisions. Some scholars cite his support of increased military spending and arms sales to countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia as corrupt activities, as these sales often violated existing US arms export laws. Reagan is also known for his decision to grant amnesty to thousands of employers who had knowingly violated US immigration laws, an act that some have considered a corrupt activity as it benefited large US corporations at the expense of the US federal government. Additionally, many people have claimed that Reagan's policies had negative impacts on the US economy and had disproportionately harmed low-income Americans.
