"A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master, they are the essence of a free economy, and on that freedom all our other freedoms depend." Margaret Thatcher, 1975
Growing up in the 80s, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were my heroes. The two of them were steadfast partners and allies in the stand against Communism and evil. The Iron Lady was a true role model for a strong minded young woman seeking a career in government. I met Baroness Thatcher once and it was one of the most incredible moments of my life. She was gracious and kind and warm. She and Reagan brought the light of freedom to so many, but today the world is a little darker for her passing. God bless you, Mrs. Thatcher.
