Reagan speech in 1964 valid today

A speech Ronald Reagan made in 1964 is getting a lot of play on the internet because it seems made for conditions that exist today. The speech is the essence of Reagan, his thoughts and ideas. Does not this sound like it applies today," No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share ..." Not only does he talk about the economy but also about keeping the nation strong and letting nations know that there is a price we will not pay. He takes on social security, asking that it be put on a sound basis.

Videos of the speech are plentiful on the internet and a script is posted for those who want to read it or make a copy. It is well worth anyone's time.
