Get your money out of the country before your country gets your money out of you

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.

Insurance is meant for extraordinary circumstances. You don't use car insurance to pay for oil changes or gasoline; you have it as protection in case you have a terrible accident or your car is stolen. You don't use homeowners' insurance to pay your electricity and water bills; you have it as protection in case a fire or other catastrophic event produces a large expense. Obviously, any insurance policy that promises to cover every small, ordinary expense is going to be much more expensive than one that covers only extraordinary expenses.

In almost all matters, the real question should be: why are we letting government handle this?

Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.

Social Security is inherently unsound for the simple reason that it's a political program run by politicians for political purposes...Social Security operates on a very simple principle: the politicians take your money from you and squander it.

Security ... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.
