Ronald Reagan words on taxes are very relevant today
By Jack Hellner

Since California wants to tax people who don't live in California with a wealth tax, and since Biden and other Democrats don't think they should negotiate on the debt ceiling, the public should see quotes from Ronald Reagan on taxes:

Quote
1. “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.”

2. “We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.”

3. “Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.”

4. “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!”

5. “Simple fairness dictates that government must not raise taxes on families struggling to pay their bills.”

6. “Government does not tax to get the money it needs; government always finds a need for the money it gets.”

7. “You can’t be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.”

8. “The American people are not undertaxed, the government in Washington is overfed.”

9. “Whenever we lower the tax rates, our entire nation is better off.”

The current government debt is 31 times higher than when Reagan was President and to Democrats, we haven't spent enough.

Truth.  This is why our debt to the Fed will never be paid off.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

No, it won't be "paid off".
However, at some point in the future (could be decades away) it MIGHT simply be "renounced".

Kind of like the Bolsheviks did when they took over Russia...
