Weβre going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that allow some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying ten percent of his salary, and thatβs crazy.
Ronald Reagan
6.6.1985
make one from this quote

Yes that's a great quote from Reagan. As is the one in the flash animation above. He was a complex and fascinating president.

If government is the problem, what does that make you, Mr Reagan?

If an individual in an elected office can reduce the power of government, that would make that individual part of the solution to the problem of too much government.

What makes him the worst specifically? And why do liberals insist upon calling people who disagree with their agenda "idiots?" Its just so openly hateful and hypocritical, I don't understand that mindset. Care to enlighten me?

YOU want ME to grow up? You compared the Christian right to the Taliban! You do realize that makes you insane, right? If you actually think there is any legitimacy to that comparison, you literally have some kind of mental disorder. Keyword: literally.
I'm not opposed to arguing with liberals, but I will not engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. If you honestly believe bigger government is better, fine. But when you go a step further and call people who would prefer a return to a more constitutional, free society "extremists," you just show how extreme you are.
One final piece of advice: Don't underestimate people's intelligence just because they use a cartoon avatar and a smiley icon. My views are neither simple-minded nor ignorant... I wouldn't be calling myself a "classical liberal" (look it up if you need to) if I was an ignoramus such as yourself.

nice work. one of my favorite reagan quotes...
though, i must read really slow. it moved way too fast for me. maybe slow 'er down a bit?

Well, I was just trying to sync with the audio, which I can't really slow down without altering the pitch.
I think since you have the audio, reading the text is kind of secondary... more like its emphasis rather than carrying the message all by itself.
But then, I always have been a fast reader, so it might just be me.

you make a good point. with the audio, it all works well together.
i was just thinking in visual terms.
