Oh, yeah....

Found this in a bunch of motivation type quotes on my 'puter from old - Ronald Reagan.
  • "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem."
  • "Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."
  • "Nations crumble from within when the citizenry asks of government those things which the citizenry might better provide for itself."
  • "Are you entitled to the fruits of your own labor or does government have some presumptive right to spend and spend and spend?"
  • "The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution."
  • "The best view of big government is in the rearview mirror as you're driving away from it."
  • "We were poor when I was young, but the difference then was that the government didn't come around telling you you were poor."
  • "To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions every day, I say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny."
