BIG GOVERNMENT

"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."

President Ronald Reagan

I would say that was accurate for 1980s politics, but for 21st century politics I would say this would be more accurate:

"If it thinks about moving, tax it. If it actually moves, tax and regulate it. If it is and has been moving for a while, suffocate it. If it slows down, 'stimulate' it. If it stops moving, socialize it."
