MR. PRESIDENT

NOTHING IN OUR WORLD COMES FROM NOWHERE,
NOR CAN IT BE FREE.

EVERYTHING IN ECONOMY HAS A SOURCE,
A DESTINATION AND A FEE.

GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE SOURCE OF GOODS,
THAT COMES FROM THE WORKING MAN.

AND THO GOVERNMENT THINKS IT GIVES,
IT MUST TAKE FROM HIM BEFORE IT CAN.

THE ONLY MONEY THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS,
IS MONEY BORROWED FROM PEOPLE.

GOVERNMENT DOMES EXIST BY THE PEOPLE'S WILL,
NOT THE PUBLIC TROUGH OF GOVERNMENT SWILL.

WHEN YOU SPEND MORE THAN YOU RECEIVE,
THAT MONEY IS MADE OF THIN AIR.

AND BY SO DOING YOU REDUCE THE VALUE,
OF SAVINGS AND EQUITABLE SHARE.

GOVERNMENTS DO NOT EXIST WITHOUT SOME
FORM OF ECONOMY TO TAX.

AND ECONOMIES SLUMP WHEN GOVERNMENTS
BECOME SLOTHFUL AND LAX.

REMEMBER WITHOUT THE WORKER,
THERE WOULD BE NO PAYROLLS, NO COLLECTIONS.

AND WITHOUT ECONOMIC HEALTH THERE
COULD HARDLY BE FREE ELECTIONS.

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS WAGES ARE
THE PRINCIPAL COSTS OF LIVING TODAY.

YOUR TASK IS TO INCREASE WAGES, FREE ENTERPRISE,
IN JUST SUCH A WAY.

AND INFLATION MUST NOT EXCEED GROWTH,
ELSE HOW CAN GOVERNMENT SPENDING EXIST.

GOVERNMENT IS IN THE HEART OF THE PUBLIC,
NOT CLENCHED IN A PRESIDENT'S FIST.

SO DO YOUR THING AND RUN YOUR RACE,
AND GET ALL THE VOTES YOU CAN,

BUT REMEMBER THIS, ITS NOT YOURS ALONE,
BUT THE JOB OF EVERYMAN.

WILLIAM EVERYMAN 1980
