Socialism crushes human rights, builds the state, impinges on the liberty of conscience, and breeds social, cultural, and economic degeneration.

Above all, ascribe no decent motives to the federal government. Always and everywhere, it is the enemy of truth.

All the stuff that makes life worth living is produced privately, and all that the government does is slow down the progress of civilization and bring destruction and disaster wherever it goes.

What the American worker needs is more of what WalMart offers and less of what the government offers.

Always and everywhere, the only serious political issue is what the state should and should not do. All the rest distracts.

The most absurd public opinion polls are those on taxes. Now, if there is one thing we know about taxes, it is that people do not want to pay them. If they wanted to pay them, there would be no need for taxes. People would gladly figure out how much of their money that the government deserves and send it in. And yet we routinely hear about opinion polls that reveal that the public likes the tax level as it is and might even like it higher. Next they will tell us that the public thinks the crime rate is too low, or that the American people would really like to be in more auto accidents.

Capitalism, and capitalism alone, has rescued the human race from degrading poverty, rampant sickness and early death.
