Give me a break - They say taxes are inevitable, like death. At least death doesn't come every year.

Government is so big today that more than half the population gets a major part of its income from the state.

I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.

What I've learned in 40 years of consumer reporting is that the market is imperfect, and some people get ripped off.

The market performs miracles so routinely that we take it for granted. Supermarkets provide 30,000 choices at rock-bottom prices. We take it for granted that when we stick a piece of plastic in a wall, cash will come out; that when we give the same plastic to a stranger, he will rent us a car, and the next month, Visa will have the accounting correct to the penny. By contrast, "experts" in government can't even count the vote accurately.

We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers.
