Reagan on Free Enterprise

“The economy is expanding because from the beginning we made it clear that one of the prime motivating intentions of this administration was to get the economy going again.”

January 18, 1986

“The economy is expanding because from the beginning we made it clear that one of the prime motivating intentions of this administration was to get the economy going again. And it was clear the way to do that was cut tax rates, stop penalizing initiative, and sit back and watch the fireworks. All of us have benefited. The poverty statistics show John Kennedy was right when he said, following his own tax cuts, a rising tide lifts all boats.”
