People are capable of governing themselves. The elitist left who believe themselves to be intellectually superior to the ordinary man like BIG government that tells you where to live, how to live, what to eat, et cetera.
Henry the MDCLXVIII ~ Ronald Reagan reduced the size and influence of the federal establishment by tremendous proportions. The only thing he wasn't able to do was eliminate the disaster that is the Department of Education started under Jimmy Carter.

whilst government isn't in the equation than who solutions to who? specific activity!!! Persuasion of money. government can do extra for the better selection than any private interprise on the face of the earth. whilst it skirts its usual jobs than all of us together lose. To me the different is genuine on the topic of this Ronald Reagan quote.

He meant to much government control in peoples lives creates more porblems than it solves. They basically take way our freedoms and personal responsibility to do what they think is best for us! That's why I don't vote for big government democrats!

He meant the government before his presidency, which was still something like a democracy. But he and his henchmen took care of that.
Now there's a new government (not just another party in power --actually a completely new form of government, bearing no relation to the Constitutionally ordained system), and Americans are too distracted to notice.

He was advocating a smaller gov'ment as he called it. The problem is the government did not shrink during his term but expanded.
