Reagan on Free Enterprise, America, and Democracy

“Because ours is a free society, we Americans are blessed with many choices.”

December 5, 1985

“Because ours is a free society, we Americans are blessed with many choices. We can choose to live where we want. We can choose our education and our vocation. We are free to speak our minds, to worship God as our conscience prompts us, and to choose our political affiliation. And nowhere else in the world is there a wider variety of goods and services from which to choose, thanks to an open marketplace and the freedom to produce and purchase.”

— Proclamation 5417 -- National Consumers Week
