Reagan Urges Mobility for State Program Change
Reagan says moving to states with better or substitute programs could help poor people if federal welfare is moved to local control. He told about 70 in Dublin NH that "you can vote with your feet" and noted mass migration from the rural South to urban North. He argues federalism justifies shifting social programs to states, with no new taxes but phased transfers and possible use of liquor, cigarette taxes, and a portion of income tax. The speech followed stiff questions on education funding and minority rights amid his campaign swing through New Hampshire.

Ford Budget Seeks Higher Social Security Tax 1977
