I remember watching this speech. I was a Ronald Reagan supporter at age 14. So was my Dad, Aunts, Uncles. Neighbors. The WW2 Generation and most were still of working age - 60s. Approaching Retirement. All voted for Ronald Reagan. And during his Presidency, I made sure I watched all his national addresses. I was able to finally vote for him in 1984 during his re-election campaign. I just turned 18. The USA of 1981. Totally different than today. Population, 226 million versus the 327 million of 2020. 100 million more. As if a whole different nation moved in! Yes! Most of that population growth is from immigration. Reagan speaks of States Rights, Limited Government, Lower Taxes, helping Industry. Tax burdens and unemployment. “Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem” - Amazing…. “Government”, that is Wash DC. The USA had more Industry and that Factory back in “81“. Even in my home town while in High School, 1981 thru 1985, that Factory building and working people, the “Middle Class”.. I can write pages on this speech. Take it apart and write full essays on them. But, my purpose is not fill this comment with hundreds of words. I will say that President Ronald Reagan was not able to fulfill, accomplish all that he hoped for. He did pass major portions of his economic recovery plan. And he hired and consulted all the right people. And Industry flourished in my local region. Full parking lots. Well maintained property and offices. A couple of places had water fountains surrounded by flowers at that front entrance. All gone.

It amazes me that fewer than a million people have viewed this video. Everyone living in the U.S. should see this whole speech, and learn what Ronald Reagan did, and why he did the things he did, when he was President. More than that though, this speech is timeless, and about being American. That's what makes it still current today, more than forty years after President Reagan delivered it.

After all the problems of the 1970s.....wow. You knew a true winner took command. He blows the screen away and 43 years later what he said resonates. God rest his soul.

Can't ask for better speech ...you can always make things better for nation, with leaders like Ronald

This is the first time I have watched n listened to President Reagan. In the 80s I was not into politics being too occupied by family discord. Reagan was truly a President after God's heart.

We need the spirit of President Reagan back now to save America.

Yet Reagan didn’t have a failed leadership to a pandemic, and didn’t have a recession in 1984. Reagan actually fixed the economy in 1984, in 2020 it is in ruins.

I wonder why men don't wear morning suit anymore for occasions like presidential inaugurations. That was only 41 years ago.

"Government is not the solution to 'Our' problem. Government 'Is' the problem " [25 mins 40 seconds] True then, true now in 2021

"And after all why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans." Those two sentences demonstrate more than anything else why Reagan was a great president. He believed in America. He believed in the American people. It's very easy and very popular these days to take a cynical and unpatriotic view of America, as it was in the '70s. But the promise of this great country, the potential that Reagan believed in wholeheartedly, still exists. We just need another Reagan to reignite that belief in the American people.

Do you need explanation on “trickle down economics” or Capatilism? People buy stuff correct? That is the cost of labor, material cost, and company profit needed. That company profit goes towards newer products and a portion to the owners and significant people. Those significant people buy all that stuff you’d buy, but typically more, but not enough to take them from their wealth, when they buy those items, it gives to the paychecks of others, keeping everybody afloat. Capatalism works. Socialism/Communism whatever, doesn’t, the government take all, then give just enough for the citizens to not start a revolution.

Extraordinary American Democracy on Earth Under Heavens

He was my first President I voted for, in 1984. There has been a debate to decide which President in modern times was better, between President Reagan & President Trump. Strange that when we see what works and doesn't work, that we would vote for what (who) doesn't work. In the 1990s, things would have probably been better if we would of elected the business man Mr. Parott, to be the President.

Love it, esp the opening... it should make sense for all who care about this country.

He was a very first President I ever voted for very first election I ever took part in and I will always remember him and what his dream was and I try to carry it on it's kind of hard to do these days with all this infighting but I have a feeling we will persevere just like he used to say

It only gives the government the ability to spend more. The older brother (government) takes the saved-up allowance from his younger brother (taxpayer). The older brother doesn't care, he will just spend it on whatever he wants because he knows his little brother can't do anything about it. Eventually, Mother (The Federal Reserve), who favors the older brother, starts giving the older brother money on a loan to buy new stuff that he doest need (because the older brother is totally good for it....right?). But in order to pay back that money the older brother needs to take even more money from his little brother. RInse. And. Repeat.
