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 was ashamed for people to see me struggle.

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

The theory of government I was taught says that government provides benefits, primarily security, to the entire population. In return we pay taxes. But lately the government has been a distributor of special privileges, taking money from some and giving it to others. America is now about evenly split between those who pay income taxes and those who consume them.

Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.

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

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