Perhaps one of Reagan's greatest quotes

“We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and, ultimately, human fulfillment are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefiting from their success –only then can societies remain alive, dynamic, prosperous, progressive and free."

President Ronald Reagan, March 28, 1995 Speech to the New York Stock Exchange
