And suppose you were a member of Congress... But then I repeat myself. -Mark Twain I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket trying to lift himself up by the handle. -Winston Churchill A Government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. -George Bernard Shaw Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. -James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994) Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. -Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University Giving money and power to Government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. -P.J. O'Rourke -Anomalous=(If you are like me and survived the experience just fine, ask your self "where are all those cars now"?) Government is the great fiction, through which everyone endevors to live at the expense of everyone else. -Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850) If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! -P.J. O'Rourke |
