Ronald Wilson Reagan ; Tampico, Illinois; 6 de febrero de 1911 - Bel-Air, Los Ángeles; 5 de junio de 2004 fue un actor y político estadounidense, el cuadragésimo presidente de los Estados Unidos entre 1981 y 1989 y el trigésimo tercer gobernador del estado de California entre 1967 y 1975.

Nacido en Illinois, en 1928 se mudó a Los Ángeles, California, donde trabajó como actor, fue presidente del Screen Actors Guild y portavoz de la compañía multinacional de infraestructuras, servicios financieros y medios de comunicación General Electric . Su inicio en la política ocurrió durante su trabajo en GE; originalmente miembro del Partido Demócrata, se cambió al Partido Republicano en 1962 a la edad de 51 años. Tras pronunciar un entusiasta discurso en apoyo a la candidatura presidencial de 1964 de Barry Goldwater, fue persuadido para lograr la gobernación de California, ganándola dos años después y por segunda vez en 1970. Fue vencido en su carrera por la nominación republicana presidencial en 1968 y en 1976, pero ganó tanto la nominación como las elecciones en 1980, convirtiéndose en Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América.

Como presidente introdujo nuevas y osadas iniciativas políticas y económicas. Su política económica, entroncada en la llamada economía de la oferta, se haría famosa bajo el nombre de "reaganomics", caracterizada por la desregularización del sistema financiero y por las rebajas substanciales de impuestos implementadas en 1981. En su primer período, sobrevivió a un intento de asesinato, marcó una línea dura contra los sindicatos y además ordenó acciones militares en la independiente isla caribeña de Granada, próxima a la costa de Venezuela. Fue reelegido con una gran mayoría en las elecciones de 1984. El segundo período de Reagan estuvo marcado principalmente por asuntos extranjeros, siendo los más importantes el fin de la Guerra Fría, el bombardeo de Libia y la revelación del escándalo Irán-Contras. Previamente el presidente había ordenado un masivo incremento militar para la lucha estrecha contra la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas , dejando atrás la estrategia de la détente. Describió públicamente a la URSS como el "imperio del mal" y apoyó movimientos anticomunistas en todo el mundo a través de la denominada Doctrina Reagan. Negoció el Tratado INF para el desarme nuclear con el secretario general soviético Mijaíl Gorbachov, logrando la reducción de los arsenales nucleares de ambos países.

Dejó el cargo en 1989. En 1994 el expresidente reveló que le habían diagnosticado la enfermedad de Alzheimer a comienzos de ese año. Murió diez años después a la edad de noventa y tres, siendo uno de los expresidentes más longevos del país. Wikipedia

“If you read the letter, you will find there is nothing wrong with it.”

Commenting on a letter that Reagan had written to Richard Nixon in 1960 regarding John F. Kennedy, as quoted in The New York Times (27 October 1984). The letter to Nixon said: "Unfortunately, he is a powerful speaker with an appeal to the emotions. He leaves little doubt that his idea of the 'challenging new world' is one in which the Federal Government will grow bigger and do more and of course spend more....One last thought — shouldn't someone tag Mr. Kennedy's bold new imaginative program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish haircut is still old Karl Marx — first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Government being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his 'State Socialism' and way before him it was 'benevolent monarchy.'"

“Thomas Jefferson dreamed of a land of small farmers, of shop owners and merchants. Abraham Lincoln signed into law the “Homestead Act” that ensured that the great western prairies of America would be the realm of independent, property-owning citizens-a mightier guarantee of freedom is difficult to imagine.
I know we have with us today employee-owners from La Perla Plantation in Guatemala. They have a stake in the place where they work and a stake in the freedom of their country. When Communist guerrillas came, these proud owners protected what belonged to them. They drove the Communists off their land and I know you join me in saluting their courage.
In this century, the United States has evolved into a great industrial power. Even though they are now, by and large, employees, our working people still benefit from property ownership. Most of our citizens own the homes in which they reside. In the marketplace, they benefit from direct and indirect business ownership. There are currently close to 10 million self-employed workers in the U. S.-nearly 9 percent of total civilian employment. And, millions more hope to own a business some day. Furthermore, over 47 million individuals reap the rewards of free enterprise through stock ownership in the vast number of companies listed on U. S. stock exchanges.
I can’t help but believe that in the future we will see in the United States and throughout the western world an increasing trend toward the next logical step, employee ownership. It is a path that befits a free people.”
