Antrittsrede als 40. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten am 20. Januar 1981, zitiert in DER SPIEGEL 41/1988 http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13530876.html. Häufiger und wohl auch treffender zitiert als: "Der Staat ist nicht die Lösung, er ist das Problem", z.B. in Süddeutsche Zeitung 6. Februar 2011 http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/ronald-reagan-geburtstag-zu-einfach-gedacht-1.1055631. "Government" bezeichnet im amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch nicht nur den Präsidenten und sein Kabinett, sondern den gesamten Staatsapparat im Gegensatz zur Privatwirtschaft. Von dieser erwartet Reagan sich die Lösung bestehender wirtschaftlicher Probleme, die durch staatliche Eingriffe eher erschwert werde.

(Original englisch: "My years in show business and the experience of making thousands of speeches over the years probably taught me something about timing and cadence and how to reach an audience. Here's my formula: I usually start with a joke or story to catch the audience's attention; then I tell them what I am going to tell them, I tell them, and then I tell them what I just told them." - An American Life.

1960s

Commenting on a letter that Reagan had written to Richard Nixon in 1960 regarding John F. Kennedy, as quoted in The New York Times (27 October 1984). The letter to Nixon said: "Unfortunately, he is a powerful speaker with an appeal to the emotions. He leaves little doubt that his idea of the 'challenging new world' is one in which the Federal Government will grow bigger and do more and of course spend more....One last thought — shouldn't someone tag Mr. Kennedy's bold new imaginative program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish haircut is still old Karl Marx — first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Government being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his 'State Socialism' and way before him it was 'benevolent monarchy.'"
