“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 those millions of unsung men and women, who get up every morning, send the kids to school, go to work, try to 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.” MenWayFeelsTryingDreamGovernmentKidsSchoolDesireHouseIndividualMy OwnResultsPayCompassionMorningMillionsSacrificeShareTaxesFindingsMen And WomenFruitSorryGet UpFortunateFallenEvery MorningNew WaysToilPaymentSomething BetterLess Fortunate Author:Ronald Reagan

“The suggestion that liberals aren't moralizers is so preposterous it makes it hard for me to take any of them seriously when they wax indignant about "moralizers." Almost every day, they tell us what is moral or immoral to think and to say about race, taxes, abortion - you name it. They explain it would be immoral for me to spend more of my own money on my own children when that money could be spent by government on other people's children. In short, they think moralizing is fine. They just want to have a monopoly on the franchise.” PeopleThinkingWantChildrenHardGovernmentWould BeNamesMy OwnRaceMoralFineTaxesAbortionSuggestionsImmoralMonopolyIndignantMoralizing Author:Jonah Goldberg

I actively ask these people to raise my taxes.” PeopleMeanSelfValuesAsksStuffInterestMy OwnClassMiddleTaxesVoteRaisesElectionRaisedMiddle ClassSelf Interest Author:Matt Damon
“I do not want you ever to initiate any action for any refunds of taxes without first consulting me and presenting the matter fully to me so that I may judge whether it is an honorable and ethical action to take, not simply legally, but according to my own personal standards.” WantFirstsMayMatterActionMy OwnJudgingTaxesStandardsEthicalHonorablePresentingInitiateConsultingRefunds Author:Ernest Hemingway
