"The business of America is business."
Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the United States. He was conservative and believed in a small government, which had little say in what businesses did. So, in short, the way Coolidge felt about government regulation of business activity, is that he didn't like it, and he didn't believe in it.
Probably Wycliffe, Hus or Calvin. In terms of long term impact I would probably say Calvin
Meiriceà
Al Capone claimed he was a used furniture dealer, so I assume that's what it said on his business card.
"The business of America is business."
I say Calvin Coolidge. He served for the longest time in the 20's and was honest and popular while he served/
Calvin Coolidge is funny. He told her, "You lose." :-P
When Calvin Coolidge was president he worked in an office and a true fact is a reporter made a bet with his wife that she could get him to say atleast 3 words out of him but all she heard was "You lose."
President Calvin Coolidge loved riding electrical rocking horses.
Both presidents were conservative, pro-business Republicans who believed the government should not impede business growth. Harding had more struggles with corruption in his administration than Coolidge: most historians would say that Coolidge was the more effective president. Now that the World War was over, it led to a decade of prosperity (until the stock market crashed); Harding and Coolidge both presided over a strong economy. It should also be noted that both men embraced the new technology of radio (Coolidge especially); Coolidge was a supporter of the major companies that owned and operated radio stations and radio networks.
You lose
Calvin Coolidge was famous for being quiet. His nickname was "Silent Cal". There is a story that someone sitting next to him at a White House dinner said the him, "Mr. President....tonight I bet I can get you to say more than two words." The President's response was, "You lose.". Another story: Coolidge came home from church and was asked what the sermon was about. Cal replied, "Sin" . The questioner asked,"What did the preacher say about sin?" Coolidge said," He was against it."
Calvin Coolidge was nicknamed "Silent Cal" " because he preferred to say little, and make his remarks to the point.
President Calvin Coolidge presided over a period of time (the mid-1920s) when America was prosperous and at peace. His pro-business policies were welcomed by corporations. He was also the first president to use radio on a regular basis, and while he did not have a great radio voice, he seemed to enjoy being on the air, especially when campaigning. It is difficult to say he was a great president, but he certainly was a good president: he took over after the sudden death of President Harding, stabilized the country, and kept America moving forward during his time in office.

This is a joke about Calvin Coolidge. I suspect it is not a true event. The punch line is that Coolidge said, " You lose," when he was told about the bet by the woman sitting next to him at a dinner party.
