Ronald Reagan amava scherzare sul fatto che “il governo ha un modo di vedere l’economia che potrebbe essere riassunto in poche frasi: se si muove, tassalo. Se continua a muoversi, fai un regolamento. Se smette di muoversi, approva un bel sussidio statale”. Dopo appena vent’anni da quando Reagan ha lasciato il posto di governatore della California, Sacramento ha deciso che è più facile vietare le cose piuttosto che tassarle e regolamentarle.

If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” Within a couple of decades of Reagan departing as governor of California, Sacramento decided it would as likely ban something as tax and regulate it.

Marxism isn't socialism. Bush's best (only) buddy on the world stage is Tony Blair, a modern socialist. There aren't many real marxists left. Christopher Hitchins used to be one. Keep that in mind next time he waxes lyrical about the Bush administration. I guess "liberal" is no longer working as an epithet, is it? Is that what this new Red Scare is all about?

You can't hide from your Marxist leanings. Sorry, Endo, but your party shares enough in common with socialists (and this Kennedrunk letter enhances the already accurate perception).

Just because Reagan made illegal deals with Iran's mullah's doesn't mean that Republicans are fundamental muslims either, only that they didn't mind supporting Iran in exchange for political favours and off-record money to send to the Nicaraguan death squads.
