Quote: Reagan On Taxes

In this election's context of universal health care, universal preschool/kindergarten, the mortgage bailout, and the economic stimulus, please take a moment to read this quote from former President Ronald Reagan about using taxes to 'help out' certain small segments of the population:
“I’m sure everyone feels sorry for the individual who has fallen by the wayside or who can’t keep up in our competitive society, but my own compassion goes beyond that to the millions of unsung men and women who get up every morning, send the kids to school, go to work, try and keep up the payments on their house, pay exorbitant taxes to make possible compassion for the less fortunate, and as a result have to sacrifice many of their own desires and dreams and hopes. Government owes them something better than always finding a new way to make them share the fruit of their toils with others.”


-- Ronald Reagan --
