Radio icon Rush Limbaugh told his audience Monday that he looked at Trump’s tax plan and had flashbacks to the Reagan administration.

Limbaugh was reacting to the plan revealed Monday, which would eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax and would not tax married couples earning under $50,000 or singles earning under $25,000.

“That seems like the exactly what Trump is doing.
