Socialism takes and redistributes wealth, but it is utterly incapable of creating wealth.

In market terms, one is entitled to what others will offer in willing exchange. That is all!

Socialistic practices are now so ingrained in our thinking, so customary, so much a part of our mores, that we take them for granted.

The system of plunder derives much of its support from individuals who do not subscribe to socialism but who say, 'We're paying for it, so we might as well get our share'

No one has more than scratched the surface when it comes to understanding and explaining the miracle of the market.

Whenever government assumed responsibility for the security, welfare, and prosperity of citizens, the costs of government rise beyond the point where it is politically expedient to cover them by direct tax levies.

Under both the welfare state and communism, the responsibility for the welfare, security, and prosperity of the people is presumed to rest with the central government.
