Government has no money of its own. All it does is take resources from one group and given them to another.

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

Nothing keeps a company honest and efficient like the threat of other companies coming along and taking its business away.

Any money the government spends must be taxed, borrowed or conjured out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, and that will reduce sound private investment. Obama has no real wealth to inject into the economy. He can only move around existing money while inflation robs us of purchasing power. Meanwhile, private investors who might have produced a better engine, battery, computer, cancer treatment or other wealth-creating and life-enhancing innovations hold back for fear that big government will undermine productive efforts.

Central authority is bad. The bias should be for freedom. And without a central authority, there are lots of little authorities, and we learn which ones to trust.

Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.

Freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor.
