Libertarians know that a free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out - while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out.

Give politicians power and it certainly will be abused eventually - if not by today's politicians, then by their successors.

The best kept secret in the investing world: Almost nothing turns out as expected.

Politicians are notoriously economically illiterate. And even when they know what would be the right thing, we don't really expect them to do it.

The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it.

World War II has always been of great interest to me. I've known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.
