Once an activity has been socialized, it is impossible to point out, by concrete example, how men in a free market could better conduct it. How, for instance, can one compare a socialized post office with private postal delivery when the latter has been outlawed?

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

...the greatest political problem facing the world today is...how to curb the oppressive power of government, how to keep it within reasonable bounds.

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

There is no moral distinction between petty thievery and 'from each according to ability, to each according to need.'

I would like to suggest to you that the extent to which government in America has departed from the original design of in habiting the destructive actions of man and invoking a common justice; the extent to which government has invaded the productive and creative areas; the extent to which the government in this country has assumed the responsibility for the security, welfare, and prosperity of our people is a measure of the extent to which socialism has developed here in this land of ours.

I can remember the time when, if we wanted a house or housing, we relied on private enterprise. In fact, Americans built more square feet of housing per person than any other country on the face of the earth. Despite that remarkable accomplishment, more and more people are coming to believe that the only way we can have adequate housing is to use government to take the earnings from some and give these earnings, in the form of housing, to others.
