Markets are too complex to manipulate beneficially.

Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.

To finance 'entitlement' programs, the government threatens force against the taxpayers who provide the money. Why are people who favor compulsion called humanitarians, while those who favor freedom are stigmatized as greedy?

You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.

The politicians should not tell the people to shut up.

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.
