We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.more Ronald Reagan quotes |
Our federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust and completely counterproductive, [it] reeks with injustice and is fundamentally un-American... it has earned a rebellion and it's time we rebelled.more Ronald Reagan quotes |
We need true tax reform that will at least make a start toward restoring for our children the American Dream that wealth is denied to no one, that each individual has the right to fly as high as his strength and ability will take him. . . . But we cannot have such reform while our tax policy is engineered by people who view the tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure.more Ronald Reagan quotes |
Well-meaning Americans in the name of freedom have taken freedom away. For the sake of religious tolerance, they’ve forbidden religious practice.more Ronald Reagan quotes |
American tyranny has come gradually, like a slowly rising river. Each of us does not realize the danger until the water comes in our door. Until then, it is merely someone else's problem and a problem that we fool ourselves into thinking won't reach us.more Charley Reese quotes |
Washington, of course, aside from being one of the most mismanaged, crime-ridden cities on the planet, is a place where 535
federal legislators and about 38,000 lobbyists work at confiscating and redistributing the incomes of the American people.more Charley Reese quotes |
[N]o American should retreat an inch on the right of jurors to acquit if they perceive the law or its administration to be unjust.more Charley Reese quotes |
Unless they can pass the same test that immigrants must pass to become citizens, people shouldn't be allowed to vote. The idea that there is some public benefit in ignoramuses and morons pulling levers next to names on a ballot is one of the evil myths of post-modern America. The purpose of voting, in our country, is to select men and women with the competence and integrity to operate the mechanics of government fixed by our Constitution. For this process to have any public benefit requires that the choices be made on an intelligent, knowledgeable and reasoned basis.more Charley Reese quotes |
If Americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. Public education is the enemy. The entertainment industry is the enemy. The corporate culture is the enemy. The advertising industry is the enemy. And most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. An enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of Americans.more Charley Reese quotes |
[T]he people as ultimate sovereigns, retain the ultimate power -- and even the duty -- to overthrow any government that fails to respect their authority.more Glenn Harlan Reynolds quotes |
|
The tax that was supposed to soak the rich has instead soaked America. The beneficiary of the income tax has not been the poor, but big government. The income tax has given us a government bureaucracy that outnumbers the manufacturing work force. It has created welfare dependencies that have entrapped millions of Americans in an underclass that is forced to live a sordid existence of trading votes for government handouts.more Paul Craig Roberts quotes |

A foreigner coming here and reading the Congressional Record would say that the President of the United States was elected solely for the purpose of giving Senators somebody to call a horse thief.more Will Rogers quotes |

Elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste. Every time we see a bridegroom we wonder why she ever picked him, and it's the same with Public Officials.more Will Rogers quotes |
Hurray! Congress is to adjourn! Only four more days of Congressional burglary on the Treasury!more Will Rogers quotes |

Nothing makes a man, or a body of men, as mad as the truth. If there is no truth in it, they laugh it off.more Will Rogers quotes |
If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives.more Will Rogers quotes |
You can have all the advanced war methods you want, but, after all, nobody has ever invented a war that you don't have to have somebody in the guise of soldiers to stop the bullets.more Will Rogers quotes |
An economist is a man that can tell you...what can happen under any given condition, and his guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's too.more Will Rogers quotes |
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer.more Will Rogers quotes |

One of these days they are going to remove so much of the 'hooey' and the thousands of things the schools have become clogged up with, and we will find that we can educate our broods for about one-tenth of the price and learn 'em something that they might accidentally use after they escape.more Will Rogers quotes |
That's what a Congressman or a Senator is for -- to see that too much money don't accumulate in the national Treasury.more Will Rogers quotes |
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.more Will Rogers quotes |

It will take America fifteen years of steady taking care of our own business and letting everybody else's alone, to get us back to where everybody speaks to us again.more Will Rogers quotes |
You see, in Washington they have these bodies, Senate and the House of Representatives. That is for the convenience of the visitors. If there is nothing funny happening in one, there is sure to be in the other, and in case one body passes a good bill, why, the other can see it in time and kill it.more Will Rogers quotes |

Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?more Will Rogers quotes |
How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich -- or just out of the poor, as usual?more Will Rogers quotes |
A Country can get more real joy out of just Hollering for their Freedom than they can if they get it.more Will Rogers quotes |
All one has to do to get one's stuff in the Congressional Record is to find a stenographer that can stay awake long enough to take it down. Then you mark in the 'Applause' and 'Laughter' parts yourself.more Will Rogers quotes |

I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.more Will Rogers quotes |
I doubt if a charging elephant, or a rhino, is as determined or hard to check as a socially ambitious mother.more Will Rogers quotes |
I see where they are going to be more strict with these robbers; when they catch 'em from now on, they're going to publish their names.more Will Rogers quotes |
If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, 'America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership'.more Will Rogers quotes |
It sure did kick up some excitement in the Senate when one Senator called the other Senators 'sons of Wild jackasses.' Well, if you thought it made the Senators hot, you wait till you see what happens when the jackasses hear how they have been slandered.more Will Rogers quotes |
Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.more Will Rogers quotes |
