The Line of the Week

Jack Kemp

From Terry Paulson at Townhall.com

Are we the country of “Yes I Can” or “Yes the Government Can?”

Paulson continues:

We need a candidate that will echo the populist message of Ronald Reagan’s optimism—“It’s the people who make America great!” Big government has worked hard to destroy individual responsibility and opportunity, because it is dependent citizens who keep liberals in power. It’s time for smaller government and more empowered citizens. If we’re to remain the land of the free and the home of the brave, candidates must champion the American Dream and challenge workers, entrepreneurs and investors to create their own economic recovery and more private sector jobs.
