The speech was broadcast live and rebroadcast by C-Span, and Instructional Television Network fed the program “to schools nationwide on three different days.”<br /> In his speech to students and the question and answer session following Reagan<br /><br /> 1. stressed the importance of low taxes and free trade.<br /> 2. stressed the importance of religion in our nation.<br /> 3 touted the economic achievements of his administration ,<br /> 4.put in a plug for the line item veto,<br /> 5. told the students that lowering taxes increases revenue<br /> 6. boasted of his administrations aid to Negro colleges<br /> 7. and told students that if guns were banned, burglars would be “celebrating forevermore”<br /><br />http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1988/111488c.htm<br /> <br /><br /> Two years before that Reagan again spoke to the children of America on nationwide TV . <br /> He spends the bulk of his address touting the wonderful accomplishments of his administration in fixing the economy, restoring America's military, bolstering foreign policy. (Gee, isn't it suppose to be about the kids??)<br /><br />Then he goes on to exhort the students to help make America strong by<br /> <br />1. studying hard (good)<br />2. being good citizens (wonderful)<br />3. staying away from drugs. (excellent)<br />4. and lowering the tax rates (Huh???)<br /><br />Why he just couldn't help himself slip his political agenda in there again.<br /><br /><br />http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1986/51386d.htmHamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045933530624125001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15671495.post-38977913957754163372009-09-05T16:59:33.633-04:002009-09-05T16:59:33.633-04:00Yeah, a big one!
