IMHO, Goldwater's greatest contribution was in laying the foundation for Ronald Reagan. Reagan took Goldwater's principles and revitalized California and later the entire nation.

Bump! Also, I think people fail to realize that in solving the problems introduced by big government and cultural relativism poverty would diminish greatly.

I do think we need to focus on those things. We need to make sure that we aren't disadvantaging our willing American workers at the bottom of the social heap by our immigration laws, our red tape, and our taxation law.

Reagan's efforts to improve those matters translated into the boom that Clinton always claims for himself.

Read the acceptance speech from the Cow Palace, prophesying the course of the next 25 years, then call him stupid. The truth is, he was a drunk and it got to his gray matter.
