Reagan on compassion

"I'm
sure everyone feels sorry for the individual who has fallen by the
wayside or who can't keep up in our competitive society, but my own
compassion goes beyond that to the millions of unsung men and women who
get up every morning, send the kids to school, go to work, try and keep
up the payments on their house, pay exorbitant taxes to make possible
compassion for the less fortunate, and as a result have to sacrifice
many of their own desires and dreams and hopes. Government owes them
something better than always finding a new way to make them share the
fruit of their toils with others."
