Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (1981–1989). As president, Reagan implemented sweeping new political & economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics," advocated reducing taxs to spur economic growth. – Wikipedia.org

Government’s view of the economy can be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidise it.” –

Ronald Reagan
