To reverse the trend and reduce the role of government in our lives, and thus alleviate the government deficit and inflation pressures, is a giant educational task. The social and economic ideas that gave birth to the transfer system must be discredited and replaced with old values of individual independence and self-reliance. The social philosophy of individual freedom and unhampered private property must again be our guiding light.

A government debt is a government claim against personal income and private property - an unpaid tax bill.

Inflationism is a dreadful cancer that is gnawing at the backbone of the civilized order.

To live beyond your means today is to live below them tomorrow.

The government transfers income and wealth according to the rules of politics, which make politicians the primary beneficiaries of the system, and the poor and needy the primary victims.

Political power intoxicates the best hearts. No man is wise enough, nor good enough, to be trusted with much political power.

Monetary freedom (gold: sound money), like all other economic freedoms, clears the way for energy, intellect and virtue... Political control weakens individual self-reliance and energy, causes want and poverty and, in the end, breeds tyranny and oppression.
