My tag line is from Reagan, who also had to explain that he wasn't a Libertarian or Anarchist just because he was for limited government.

I knew Reagan.

Reagan was my friend.

You, sir (or madam) are no Reagan.

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

You know that Reagan didn't mean that in a good way, right?

Here's some better Reagan quotes:

I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.

Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

The most terrifying words in the English langauge are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
