The Wall Street Journal writer highlights the importance of the free market for Young America’s Foundation conference attendees. Moore headlines the Foundation’s 25th anniversary celebration of the 1981 Economic Recovery Tax Act at the Reagan Ranch Center. Moore signs copies of his latest book, End of Prosperity, for students attending the Foundation’s National High School Leadership Conference.
at the Reagan Ranch Center and Rancho del Cielo on the anniversary of the signing of 1981 tax cuts—legislation signed by President Reagan at Rancho del Cielo. “The Reagan Ranch is a landmark to commemorate these ideas,” Moore said. “This is where the 1981 Economic Recovery Act tax cut was signed into law—thus unleashing 25 years of prosperity and jobs.” Moore has also been an outspoken critic of President Obama’s economic policies, calling the accumulated debt “fiscal child abuse” and “disgusting.” “It’s a hard world out there, and Barack Obama is not making it any easier by destroying jobs and destroying our future,” Moore said. “I think the $3 trillion debt that we’ve rung up under President Obama is a crime against future generations.” Today’s young people are keenly aware of the economic uncertainty facing their generation and our nation, and Stephen Moore’s dedication to reaching students with the importance of free market principles is needed now more than ever.
Of Stephen Moore’s address at The George Washington University, Foundation student activist Giovanni Tomasi noted, “He offered excellent insight into the current economic crisis. At a time when the Left distorts free market logic to force a socialist agenda upon our society, Mr. Moore eloquently and definitively disproved leftist lies with pure facts and reason. His insight into the current state of our economy is a must for any individual who seeks to truly understand the financial crisis.” —————————————————————————— Paul Conner is a senior at North Greenville University in Tigerville, South Carolina.
