Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other."

"Do what's right and you'll please some of the people and astound the rest."

"An economy that's stifled by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget."

"Just the thought of the terrible pain that they suffered and endured should be seared in our memories forever."
