Ronald Reagan: "...a greater tax burden than any of us would have ever dreamed possible only a few decades ago. In 1930, governments, federal, state and local, between them only took 10 cents out of every dollar earned. Today, governments are taking 44 cents out of every dollar earned. In 1930, only 1/3 of that dime ran the federal government. Today, 2/3 of that 44 cents is the federal government's share. The cost of government is the biggest single expense item in the average family budget. It is greater than food, shelter and clothing for the family all put together. And it is the fastest growing cost item in our daily living." Reagan speaks at press conference following speaking after engagement, talks against Carter administration, its appointees and economic policies.
