President Ronald Reagan

§         “Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
 And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

§         “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
 It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
 or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
 

o       Alexander Hamilton

§         In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this:
You must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.
