Ronald Reagan
Image
This is not the time for political fun and games. This is the time for a new beginning. I ask you now to put aside any feelings of frustration or helplessness about our political institutions and join me in this dramatic but responsible plan to reduce the enormous burden of Federal taxation on you and your family.
Ronald Reagan

For a time, we forgot the American dream isn't one of making government bigger, it's keeping faith with the mighty spirit of free people under God
Ronald Reagan
Image
Balancing your budget is like protecting your virtue. You have to learn when to say no.
