Voluntary association produces the free market - where each person can choose among a multitude of possibilities.

Government cripples you, then hands you a crutch and says, 'See, if it wasn't for us, you couldn't walk.'

A welfare state is frightened of every poor person who tries to get in and every rich person who tries to get out.

The seeds of today's runaway government were planted when it was decided that government should help those who can't help themselves.
