Both education and religion are indispensable for maintaining a free society.

"The principles of the American Founding, stated most eloquently and concisely in the Declaration of Independence, must be studied and firmly grasped if we are to return to the constitutionalism of the Founding. In turn, this means that the virtues must be developed in the citizenry. The development of these virtues cannot be coerced, since coercion runs contrary to the nature of virtue itself.
Both education and religion are indispensable for maintaining a free society. Likewise, the manner in which they are supported by government is also important. The Founders provide clear examples of the necessary means by which the ends stated in both the Declaration and the Constitution can be achieved. In order to restore American constitutionalism, the proper ends of government—as understood by the Founders—must be reestablished."

"We’re required to wreck the country by bringing in millions upon millions more poor people so we can save the buggy whip industry?"

Calvin Coolidge Comments: "High taxes reach everywhere and burden everybody.... They are a charge on every necessary of life."

"...the people have borne with uncomplaining courage the tremendous burden of national and local taxation. These must both be reduced. The taxes of the Nation must be reduced now as much as prudence will permit, and expenditures must be reduced accordingly. High taxes reach everywhere and burden everybody. They gear most heavily upon the poor. They diminish industry and commerce. They make agriculture unprofitable. They increase the rates on transportation. They are a charge on every necessary of life. Of all services which the Congress can render to the country, I have no hesitation in declaring to neglect it, to postpone it, to obstruct it by unsound proposals, is to become unworthy of public confidence and untrue to public trust."
