 Presidente de los Estados Unidos, Ron Olbray. Gracias por estar con nosotros. Bueno, por favor, nos vemos. Lo siento sobre las relaciones. Bueno, es ok. ¿Qué piensas si yo empiezo con un par de sentencias en español, en español y en español? Y luego vamos a ir a mi casa. ¿Qué? Voy a daros tres micrófones, ¿tres micrófones? Es porque tenemos problemas. Estamos en la Casa Blanca con el señor Presidente de los Estados Unidos, Ronald Reagan. Bienvenidos, señor Presidente. Bueno, gracias. Mr. Presidente, un mayor fokus de tu presidencia ha sido la reactivación de la economía. Y muchos, por supuesto, dirán que han sido muy fuertes en eso. Entonces la pregunta ahora es, ¿por qué ahora, con el proyecto de reforma de la taxa? Bueno, lo que hemos empezado con la economía y el crecimiento que hemos tenido, el aumento y la prosperidad aquí, creo que es solo un principio. Creo que hay más que ir. Pero la reforma de la taxa, creo que podría contribuir a la creación económica. Pero lo principal es, incluso sin eso, nuestro sistema de tarjeta presentado es injusto. Es tan complicado que muchas personas no pueden determinar cuánto se atreven al gobierno sin obtener la ayuda legítima. Y creemos, es muy largo que tenemos un sistema de tarjeta que es más tarjeta, que es más simples, que es más fácil de entender a las personas, y que, al mismo tiempo, puede reducir la tarjeta, la tarjeta de tarjeta, en la simplificación, retirar algunos de los aglomeraciones que han creado incendiosos por algunos, el uso de tarjetas de tarjeta para evitar legalmente una tarjeta de tarjeta. La pregunta es, por simplificación y por el nuevo sistema de tarjeta, ¿cuál es el máximo de dinero que el individuo contribuirá a la IRS, ¿cuál es el gobierno compensando para las tarjetas que se van a dar? Bueno, no vamos a reducir la total de tarjetas que el gobierno obtenerá. Es verdad que se reducirán las tarjetas. Es verdad que los individuos pagará menos tarjetas que los que presentan. La diferencia será creada más de la economía y más de la economía crea, más de la tarjeta de tarjeta, pero principalmente, es porque ahora mismo hay muchas personas que han tomado la advertencia de algunas tarjetas de tarjeta, como llamamos, para reducir su tarjeta personal. Y esto ha resultado una gran desgracia. Por ejemplo, tenemos personas hoy pagando un tarjeto más alto como individuos, que las grandes corporaciones que trabajan son pagadas como tarjetas totales. Entonces, si cambiamos eso, la diferencia principal será creada por las tarjetas que se van a dar por algunas tarjetas, y eso es donde la acercación viene. Todo el mundo estará pagando su tarjeta. Por lo tanto, muchas veces la familia es una preocupación principal y me gustaría preguntar cuáles es la concentración principal de este proyecto. Bueno, creemos que es llamada a la familia y creemos que la familia es la más importante unidad en nuestra toda estructura social. Como la familia va, así va la nación. Pero lo que vamos a hacer, además de reducir las tarjetas, lo que vamos a hacer es hacer la reducción personal para la tarjeta de $4,000, vamos a casi duplicar la inclinación o la reducción para la dependencia a $2,000, porque no se ha quedado con la inflación por los años, esa reducción que tenía $600,000, va a ser $2,000 en nuestro plan. Y así, en particular, las familias que se reducen a la escala de rendimiento. Podemos ver una familia anteriores de $4,000 que no tendrán que pagar una penna en los primeros $12,000 de rendimiento. También vamos a ver personas que están cerca de la línea de poverty que van a ser desplazados de las tarjetas totalmente. Y hay muchos intentos en el pasado. Hay una posición en el Congreso y me gustaría preguntar cuáles son los ángeles políticos de la reforma de la taxa, o si hay más ángeles políticos. Creo que los ángeles políticos tienen que hacer con cambios específicos que queremos hacer. Algunas de esas reducciones que estoy hablando de que hay grupos especiales que intentan preservar y que llegan aquí y ahí, es uno de los otros features. Pero creo que, en general, esto puede ser uno de esos momentos cuando vemos que no hay democratas o republicanos, solo americanos. Porque, en general, hay un sentimiento bipartisan que la reforma de la taxa es necesaria. Bueno, sobre los americanos tenemos americanos hispanos y, por supuesto, como sabes, la mayoría de los americanos hispanos en la categoría de la importancia de la importancia. Has already talked a little bit about how people with the modest income would benefit, but talking specifically about hispanic americans, most of them in the modest income category, how would modest income and middle income americans benefit from this proposal? They would benefit most of all, particularly at the lowest end, the lower end of the earnings. We have, right now, there are 14 brackets, tax brackets that people based on their earnings fall into. We are reducing that to 3. A 15% bracket, a 25% bracket and a 35% bracket. But, in reality, there is a fourth bracket, zero. The people at the very lowest end and there around the poverty line will find they no longer have any taxes at all to pay. The elderly people who are in that particular bracket from the handicapped people and then those that are just earning but around that location they won't have any tax to pay at all. Mr. President, let me go to another major concern of your presidency. I remember interviewing you in Los Angeles in 1980, and you mentioned as one of your big concerns the spread of communism in this hemisphere, in the Caribbean and Central America. One of your most notable successes in foreign policy has been Grenada. However, we still have Nicaragua and it continues animated. My question now is what can you tell us that will give us confidence that the problems presented now by the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua will be solved in the future? Well, I'm optimistic about what's going to happen there. Right now we have a totalitarian government, the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. This came out of the revolution to overthrow the dictator Samosa. But the people who are fighting as the contras against the Sandinista government now are mainly the people who were part of the revolution also against Samosa. They came together to overthrow that particular regime. In 1979 those revolutionaries including the Sandinistas went to the Organization of American States and asked that organization to appeal to Samosa to step down so the killing could stop. The Organization of American States asked them what were the goals of their revolution and the goals were given the promise was given that it was to have democracy to have free labor unions a free press, free speech all the things that we associate democracy and government by and of and for the people. And then the revolution was over. The Sandinistas were probably the most organized they had been a pro-communist organization for years back. They ousted from the revolution those who had fought with them. Some of the leaders had to flee into exiles, some of them were imprisoned some of them I'm afraid were executed. And we have this totalitarian government it is literally a satellite of Cuba the communist regime in Cuba and that means it's indirectly a satellite of the Soviet Union it has made it plain that its revolution knows no borders that it is going to be the centerpiece here in the western hemisphere for spreading that kind of communist regime throughout the hemisphere their military has been furnished in their weapons well their furnishing weapons to the guerrillas in their neighboring country El Salvador where there is a democratic government so we think that in helping as we have been trying to help the contras and we've seen them grow as the dissatisfaction in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas spread among the people the forces of the contras have grown to around 20,000 in number they're getting stronger deserters from the Nicaraguan army the Sandinista army are turning up and volunteering as contras so we think that those people were simply striving for the original promises of the revolution to be kept should have our help that does not mean however military forces from the United States all of our friends in Latin America have made it plain to us maybe with some memories of a far distant past that no they have the manpower they don't need American manpower they do need our help in supplies and weapons and training and so forth and that we're giving them and so I'm I know that the contras have progressed to the point that they have several times lay down their arms and negotiate a settlement with the Sandinistas, their former allies and the revolution and the Sandinistas have repeatedly refused but we think they deserve our help well you say that we are giving them help and yes we are however congress has wavered constantly on this issue it's tear-totter between the Bolan amendment and no way to the contras and right now there is limited humanitarian aid has congress been playing politics with the security of this hemisphere well I hesitate to say that some may I don't know I think maybe the rest were well intentioned and they're suffering from something I call the Vietnam syndrome I think too many of them still remembering our entanglement they are 10,000 miles away from our own land in that that this might lead to our military involvement and so they have been cautious about what we can do the as I've already explained we have no intention of military involvement nor do I think it is needed and I think as more of them come to see that and also as more of them have come to realize the real nature of the Sandinista government is a totalitarian communist government that that opposition is lessening Mr. President another very important issue for Hispanic Americans is that of immigration as you know there has been there have been attempts in the past at immigration reform this is the third time that Senator Simpson is pushing his own version of immigration reform through congress and congressman Rodino and Mazzoli in the house do you support this are you behind this attempt would you sign into law a Simpson Rodino Mazzoli bill if it comes to being I have to say that beginning back in 1981 I supported the principle of reform in our immigration laws because we in a way have lost control of our borders right now I have to say with regard to the Simpson bill and we have informed of this that we support generally his bill but there are some amendments that we think are necessary for one we very much need in any immigration bill we need protection for people who are in this country and who have not become citizens for example that they are protected and legitimized and given permanent residency here and we want to see some things of that kind added to the immigration bill Mr. President, this is my last question really and I want to ask you simply if you have any messages for the Hispanic community in America that's listening to you well yes I do our whole country is made up of people who came here from some place else either the individuals themselves or like myself my case was grandparents others it's their parents but we represent the cultures the diversity of the whole world and we've come together in what some people called a melting pot and created a whole new breed of human being called an American and I have to say I think America's great success in the world has been the result of this diversity and this understanding and coming together of such diverse peoples and I just have to say that our Hispanic Americans their contribution to America is not surpassed by that of any other people they have brought a great warmth they have brought great traditions of family in our wars they have brought great service and great heroism loyalty to this country and all I would like to say to them is God bless them all and vaya con Dios y vaya con Dios también señor presidente muchas gracias gracias thank you very much I told you that I wouldn't go over 15 thank you very much thank you very much well for everything I know that I you know in all those years in movies I never got to see myself speaking a foreign language where they took your picture well you'll be some other language I understand will you say that again? yes
