From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed y self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.” Based on his Inaugural Address, how did Regan view government?
