Gordon Liddy] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.&#8221; &nbsp;[James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.&#8221; &nbsp;[Douglas Casey] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.&#8221; &nbsp;[P.J. O&#8217;Rourke, Civil Libertarian]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.&#8221; &nbsp;[Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Government&#8217;s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.&#8221; &nbsp;[Ronald Reagan (1986)]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t make jokes&#8230; I just watch the government and report the facts.&#8221; &nbsp;[Will Rogers]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it&#8217;s free!&#8221; &nbsp;[P.J. O&#8217;Rourke] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.&#8221; &nbsp;[Voltaire (1764)] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn&#8217;t mean politics won&#8217;t take an interest in you!&#8221; &nbsp;[Pericles (430 B.C.)] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No man&#8217;s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.&#8221; &nbsp;[Mark Twain (1866)] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Talk is cheap&#8230;except when Congress does it.&#8221; &nbsp;[Unknown] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government is like a baby&#8217;s alimentary canal: a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.&#8221; &nbsp;[Ronald Reagan]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.&#8221; &nbsp;[Winston Churchill] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.&#8221; &nbsp;[Mark Twain] <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.&#8221;&nbsp; [Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no distinctly Native American criminal class&#8230;save Congress.&#8221;
