Why is it always getting rusty all the time inside the reservoir in the 1996 Ford Taurus gl sedan would it be the radiator because it needs flushed now in then or could it be a thermostat stuck closed?

Nothing to do with the thermostat, everything to do with changing the coolant on the recommended* basis (or sooner).
The "green" coolant is NOT long-life and recommended to be changed more often than the "yellow". But even the 'long-life' requires changing no longer than 5 years.
NOTE: Both these coolant types are mentioned in the Owners Manuals.
