Any time you read that your government is erecting tariff barriers, supporting threatened industries with subsidies, or interfering in any way with free trade between individuals or nations, you must realize that your standard of living is being lowered as a result.

Pugsley's First Law of Government: All government programs accomplish the opposite of what they are designed to achieve.

Peace and prosperity are inversely proportional to the level of taxation.

Size of industry, concentration of market, or production notwithstanding, the consumer is best served when the businessman is completely free to pursue his profit goals.

...human beings always have and always will seek havens where we are free to be productive and to keep the property we create.

When government taxes and regulates, what is seen are the visible effects of government contracts, grants, and subsidies. What is not seen are all of the property, business, and jobs that would have been created if citizens were left with the right to choose.

Only in situations where competition is illegal will competition not act naturally to bring the best product at the lowest price to the consumer.
