Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The American people today are burdened with the biggest single tax increase that has ever been imposed on the people of this country."

"We are simply reducing the increase."

"I expect each of you to provide the necessary support and cooperation to assure that our objective is accomplished."

"I will say there have been a few days in the couple of months we've been here when I didn't know whether I was happy that you did that or not."
