Governments don't reduce deficits by raising taxes on the people; governments reduce deficits by controlling spending and stimulating new wealth.

Government is the people's business and every man, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax paid.

We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much

As government expands, liberty contracts.

We must not look to government to solve our problems. Government is the problem.

Common sense told us that when you put a big tax on something, the people will produce less of it. So we cut the people's tax rates, and the people produced more than ever before."
