Government doesn't work. You work, I work, Federal Express works, Microsoft works, the Salvation Army works, Alcoholics Anonymous works, but government doesn't.

Each person is living for himself; his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.

The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it.
