As a young man, Ronald Reagan idolized Franklin Roosevelt. And he was a democrat, casting his first vote for President for FDR, and then for Harry Truman in 1948. But in the 1950s his political philosophy began to shift and in 1962 he officially changed parties, joking, "I didn't leave the democratic party, it left me."

Peggy Noonan, a former speechwriter for President Reagan, once wrote, "In a President, character is everything. A President doesn't have to be brilliant...He doesn't have to be clever...You can hire pragmatic, and you can buy and bring in policy wonks. But you can't buy courage and decency, you can't rent a strong moral sense. A President must bring those things with him. If he does, they will give meaning and animation to the great practical requirement of the Presidency: He must know why he's there and what he wants to do. He has to have thought it through. He needs to have a vision of the future he wishes to create. This is a function of thinking, of the mind, the brain. But a vision is worth little if a President doesn't have the character – the courage and heart – to see it through...Ronald Reagan had the vision."

Ronald Reagan once remarked that Tax Day is a day that reminds us that taxpayers pay too much of their earnings to the Federal Government. As he laid out in his 1985 Address to the Nation on Tax Reform, taxes need to be clear, simple and fair for all, as no other issue goes so directly to the heart of our economic life and no other issue has more lasting impact on the well-being of our families and future.
