A President Speaks: “Hard Work Never Killed Anybody”

Then President Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office of the White House during his last term, Washington, D.C. By Carol M. Highsmith.

“It’s true hard work never killed anybody,” said President Ronald Reagan in an interview in 1987, “but I figured why take the chance?” In the same year, he also said, “Tear down this Wall.”

“When Soviet Leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev came to power in 1985,” writes Thomas H. Naylor in Secession, “who could have imagined that the Soviet Union would soon implode and cease to exist?”

Who would have imagined America’s major cities would be on the verge of collapse in 2020? Running out of money, losing residents to the burbs, or other safer places in America? In speaking with a client yesterday, he said he left communism at age 18 to come to America. He’s a successful business owner today and said to me, “I’ll be damned if I die in a communist country.”

In another conversation, a prospective client said he misses the Intelligence Report, and asked that I tell Richard Young he said so. And I did. He said, in speaking about his work, “We just have to work harder. What other choice do we have?”

Action Line: You don’t need to leave the comfort of your home to secede. You just need to have the mindset and goals to work toward your freedom. Hard work never killed anybody. Thank God.
