=== Taxes === [[James Fallows]] described Limbaugh's economic ideology as "a doctrinaire version of [[supply-side economics]]" and noted that he frequently cited ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' in his radio shows and books.<ref name=":10" /> Limbaugh has called for fewer taxes, including [[progressive tax]]es targeted towards the wealthy, and argued the wealthy were being taxed excessively because they continued to pay the majority of [[Taxation in the United States|taxes in the United States]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Limbaugh |first=Rush |date=2021-04-28 |title=Must Listen! Rush Explains Who Pays Taxes - The Rush Limbaugh Show |url=https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2021/04/28/must-listen-rush-explains-who-pays-taxes/amp/ |access-date=2022-06-07 |website=www.rushlimbaugh.com}}</ref> Limbaugh further claimed that reductions in [[marginal tax rates]] would reduce [[Poverty in the United States|poverty]] and [[Wealth inequality in the United States|inequality]] by removing obstacles towards economic growth, and that reducing marginal tax rates on the wealthy would increase [[tax revenue]] by increasing production. Limbaugh credited [[Reaganomics|Reagan's tax cuts]] for ending the [[Early 1980s recession in the United States|early 1980s recession]], and blamed the [[Early 1990s recession in the United States|early 1990s recession]] and rising rates of inequality on the [[American middle class|American middle-class]] being "taxed at a confiscatory rate".{{Sfn|Limbaugh|1992|p=39-42}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rush Limbaugh on Corporations |url=https://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Rush_Limbaugh_Corporations.htm#1 |access-date=2022-06-07 |website=www.ontheissues.org}}</ref>
