With a message that still resonates with conservatives today, Ronald Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing Speech, fifty years ago today, October 27, 1964, warned Americans of the threat centralized, expansive government posed to human freedom: [The Founders] knew that governments dont control things. A government cant control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that; it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.
