It is my view that what is important is cutting government spending, however spending is financed. A so-called deficit is a disguised and hidden form of taxation. The real burden on the public is what government spends (and mandates others to spend). As I have said repeatedly, I would rather have government spend one trillion dollars with a deficit of a half a trillion than have government spend two trillion dollars with no deficit.

Political leaders in capitalist countries who cheer the collapse of socialism in other countries continue to favor socialist solutions in their own. They know the words, but they have not learned the tune.

Political freedom means the absence of coercion of a man by his fellow men.

The argument for collectivism is simple; free market is not.

You know there are very few Marxists left in the world... they're all in American universities.

You cannot be sure that you are right unless you understand the arguments against your views better than your opponents do.
