"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price."


Dont google or give it away either....

The choices are overly simplistic, of course, but I would definitely choose option 2.

I know who said that, so I must pick option 2, even though I don't particularly think that he was a horrible person.

I have two people in mind that likely said it.  I'll agree with the words...

If you ask me, it's a pretty strong quote.

By the way, its Ronald Reagan.

It was said by a friendly old man with some misguided views. Wink

That's a pretty famous quote. Especially the first line.

Anyway, freedom fighter. WalterMitty, of course, likes double digit inflation and 70% tax rates.
