It is one of the great tragedies of the US, that most learn most of what they know about the government from the government.

The government's appearing to be a necessary evil does not oblige people to trust it. We face a choice of trusting government or trusting freedom-trusting overlords who have lied and abused their power or trusting individuals to make the most of their own lives.

The average American family head will be forced to do twenty years' labor to pay taxes in his or her lifetime.

The sheer number of government employees and welfare recipients effectively transforms the purpose of government from maintaining order to confiscating as much as possible from vulnerable taxpayers.

Throughout history, politicians have used other people's property to buy themselves power. That is the primary achievement of the welfare state.

Part of the reason that the government's fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant, that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.

The more that voting is glorified as a panacea, the more lackadaisical people become about preserving their constitutional rights.
