Quote: Wonder Boy said: Ronald Reagan made many similar comments (as Dave Barry) about federal government.
Ronald Reagan called the government "an enemy"? That doesn't seem like something a President, ex-President, or aspiring President would do.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
The 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.
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.
Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
People don't start wars, governments do.
I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
