“It is not my intention to do away with government. It is, rather, to make it work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. The size of the federal budget is not an appropriate barometer of social conscience or charitable concern. It has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much ‘liberty’ with our Constitution.” The late President Ronald Reagan
