We are on dangerous terrain when government picks winners and losers in the economy by subsidizing favored products and industries.

The government is largely influenced by people who advocate corporate welfare and advocate these policies that create this two-tiered society...

No centralized government, no matter how big, how smart or how powerful, can effectively and efficiently control much of society in a beneficial way. On the contrary, big governments are inherently inefficient and harmful.

How do we make people's lives better unless we find the truth of what works and what doesn't?

I don't have all the answers. I have a lot of questions. And I have some basic principles.

When everyone gets something for nothing, soon no one will have anything, because no one will be producing anything.

I love to try to understand first principles and be guided by that. But then, enrich them, because they won't last forever, just like everybody thought Newton had all the answers. And you probably read that, in the last of the 19th century, Harvard and others were discouraging people from going into physics because we have all the answers. And right after that, of course - we have - all this stuff is thrown out the window. And now we have whole new answers.
