Did Ronald Reagan lower taxes?
If taxes are lower, the people get more money. If they spend it on things inside the U.S.A, the products and money stay in the country, aiding the economy. If taxes are raised, the individual has less money to spend on things, bringing the economy to a standstill. No one wants to spend their precious dollars, so products change hands much slower.
Lower taxes encouraged businesses to expand in the US. Expanding businesses -> more jobs -> more people with money to spend -> more products sold -> businesses expand to produce more products -> more jobs -> more people with money to spend -> more products sold -> businesses expand to produce more products -> more jobs -> more people with money to spend -> more products sold -> businesses expand to produce more products -> more jobs ->
Also, the expanding businesses making more profits on which taxes are collected (twice, once on the business and once on the shareholders) and all the new employees pay taxes on their wages so the total tax revenue increases with lower tax rates.

Reagan trying to secretly assist the Contras.
Reagan trying to secretly assist the Contras
This was the Iran-Contra scandal. It involved a complex trade initiated by members of the Department of Defense and CIA. The purpose was to work around a Congressional prohibition to supply any non-humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan Contra rebels fighting the Communist-leaning Sandanista government of Nicaragua and as a method for providing the release of US hostages held by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
It involved a complex and secret program to have Israel sell arms to certain "moderate" Iranian groups, with the understanding that the US would then replace any weapons Israel sold. It was intended to have the Iranian groups influence Hezbollah, who had taken US hostages in Lebanon. It quickly degenerated into a straight "arms-for-hostages" deal through the Iranians.
In addition, profits from the arms sales were then illegally funneled to aid the Contra rebels, which Congress had forbidden.

What connection did Ronald Reagan have to Joseph McCarthy?
Reagan may have tried to help some actors that McCarthy's committee caused to be blacklisted. Surely he knew some of these people and had likely worked with them.
Bonzo Reagan did nothing to help those people that had been slandered, defiled and brow-beat by McCarthy and his brutal browbeating methods. McCarthy seized upon the idea of painting himself as a rapacious anti-communist Senator when he realized that due to his high number of missed committee meeting, missed votes (highest no-vote record in the Senate at the time), that his re-election was in serious jeopardy - he need to create a new facade, a he had watched the media covering the House Un-American activities hearings, so he began his own grand-stand in the Senate.
McCarthy engaged in a grand-standing outrageous charade designed to get him maximum press coverage and notoriety. He made claims of having pages of documented communist conspirators that had infiltrated the state department and the upper echelons of the military. These papers never existed, he made it up. He conducted a witch hunt that left thousands of people's careers destroyed and resulting in over 100 suicides, and not one truly subversive who had succeeded in getting into an even moderate level of the government.
To quote Senators Carl Levin and Susan Collins:
"Senator McCarthy's zeal to uncover subversion and espionage led to disturbing excesses. His browbeating tactics destroyed careers of people who were not involved in the infiltration of our government. His freewheeling style caused both the Senate and the Subcommittee to revise the rules governing future investigations, and prompted the courts to act to protect the Constitutional rights of witnesses at Congressional hearings... These hearings are a part of our national past that we can neither afford to forget nor permit to reoccur."
