Without reform, we are destined to relive the past all over again: $22 billion deficits, higher car taxes and the threat of bankruptcy,

I heard Nixon speak. He was talking about free enterprise, getting government off your back, lowering taxes and strengthening the military. Listening to Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air. I said to my friend, "What party is he?" My friend said, "He's a Republican." I said, "Then I am a Republican!"

To restore the trust of the people, we must reform the way the government operates.

As president, Reagan worked very well with Democrats to do big things. It is true that he worked to reduce the size of government and cut federal taxes and he eliminated many regulations, but he also raised taxes when necessary.

Tax reform is taking the taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and putting taxes on things that haven't been taxed before.

Taxes are not fun. If this is what being an adult is, then I don't want to grow up.
