It was 26 years ago yesterday that President Reagan, speaking at the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, challenged ... "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Words have meaning and some will live forever in our memories, whether we heard them in our lifetimes or learned them many years after they were first spoken. School children are familiar with Patrick Henry's
..."as for me, give me liberty or give me death," but they will have to also learn, as their parents are learning every day, these words by Chief Justice Marshall, "The power to tax is the power to destroy."
That has us crying for help, "Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the man behind the tree."
