"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size."	Ronald Reagan
"Are you entitled to the fruits of your labor or does government have some presumptive right to spend and spend and spend?"	Ronald Reagan
"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."	Will Rogers
"Government does not tax to get the money it needs; government always finds a need for the money it gets."	Ronald Reagan
"Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws."	Calvin Coolidge
