When entrepreneurs are free to compete, they grow the pie so that everyone's share gets larger.

The smaller the government, the less the need to manipulate politicians.

When workers can get and equal return for less effort, workers make less effort

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.

The people who have the biggest passion for restricting other people's behavior are the very people we should worry about most. Unfortunately, they keep running for office.

If government were less important in our lives, politicians would have fewer goodies to trade. In return, we'd have more money and more freedom.

I like taking the subway to work.
