The government's coercive taxing power necessarily creates two classes: those who create and those who consume the wealth expropriated and transferred by that power.

When government 'creates jobs' by taking money from the private sector and 'investing' in favored projects, it is not truly productive activity. Rather, the government has preempted the economic process, forbidding it to serve consumers so that it can instead serve the objectives of politicians and bureaucrats.

The state is an organization of mere mortals who, by one dubious method or another, have been allowed to don the mantle of political legitimacy and to command obedience on pain of imprisonment even of those who never consented to the preposterous arrangement.

No matter how much the government controls the economic system, any problem will be blamed on whatever small zone of freedom that remains.

The truly free market is the worker's best friend.

Freedom is never more in peril than when politicians feel the pressure to 'do something.'

The alternative to the market process is government control, and we know where that principle leads.
