The Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan –
16
1. So I felt
then, as I feel now, America owes a special thanks to those who are willing to
make the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
2. When the
income tax was first levied in 1913, the top rate was only 7 percent on people
with incomes over $500,000.
3. England may
be the mother of parliaments, but from the Boston Tea Party to this
administration, it’s the United States that has been the mother of tax revolts.
You know, that’s a pretty good line. I can hardly wait to try it out on
Margaret Thatcher.
4. The American
taxing structure, the purpose to which was to serve the people, began instead
to serve the insatiable appetite of government.
5. Someone has
likened government to a baby. It is an alimentary canal with an appetite at one
end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
6. Speak
softly, but keep the battleship Iowa close at hand.
7. Entrepreneurs
have created a global electronic network, on-line 24 hours a day, sending
capital, ideas, goods and services around the world at near the speed of light.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Share them with others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
