Ronald Reagan

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Ronald Reagan

Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity; not stifle it.

Ronald Reagan

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

Ronald Reagan

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

Ronald Reagan

Government is not a solution to our problem government is the problem.

Ronald Reagan

Government is the people’s business and every man, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax paid.

Ronald Reagan

Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

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.

Ronald Reagan

Governments don’t control things. A government can’t control the economy without controlling people.
