Entitlement? How can you be entitled to someone else's money?

Where I live in Manhattan and where I work at ABC, people say conservative the way people say child molester.

I saw how the regulation I called for made things worse, didn't help consumers and simple competition was better. And I started praising business and occasionally criticizing regulation.

I'm a little embarrassed about how long it took me to see the folly of most government intervention. It was probably 15 years before I really woke up to the fact that almost everything government attempts to do, it makes worse.

Well, who is more likely to volunteer to take a job in a bureaucracy that has little to recommend it except that it gives you the power to use government force to control the lives of others? A dispassionate scientist or a zealot? In government, the zealots eventually take over.

Good government has to mean less government.

As a free person, I ought to be allowed if I'm dying to take something.
