If you ask the government to impose morality, then moral questions will be decided by whoever has the most political power.

The problem is big government. If whoever controls government can impose his way upon you, you have to fight constantly to prevent the control from being harmful. With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm.

If the Fed had a war on abortion like its war on poverty or war on drugs, within five years men would be having abortions!

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

We may not always recognize it, but government plays a bigger role in our lives than any other single person or institution. We spend nearly half of our lives working to pay for it. Children spend more time in government schools than they do with their parents. Birth, death, marriage, every area of our lives feels the influence of government.

When you give up the hope that some advisor, some system, some source of inside tips is going to give you a shortcut to wealth, you'll finally begin to gain control over your financial future.

The problem with politics isn't the money; it's the power.
