Government Scares Me

This quote captures so much of how I feel about not only my government, but of any government.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
- Ronald Reagan

I would like to believe that Regan’s policies reflected this ideal, but I’m afraid I do not know enough history to feel confident about that.

I’m reminded of a Fox Trot cartoon, where the Jason and and his best friend (who’s name escapes me) find the most frightening Halloween costumes are just shirts that say “IRS Enforcement Team”.

    Do you listen to KTLK? When they talk about Reagan on the radio, I always wonder why they didn’t teach me anything about Reagan politics in public school… The teachers unions and publishers didn’t like him??
