Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
Tyranny or liberty
When the people fear their government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Those behind the scenes
For you see, the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
The individual, not the government
But our society — unlike most in the world — presupposes that freedom and liberty are in a frame of reference that makes the individual, not government, the keeper of his tastes, beliefs, and ideas; that is the philosophy of the First Amendment; and it is this article of faith that sets us apart from most nations in the world.
The price of free benefits
Inflation: That’s the price we pay for those government benefits everybody thought were free.
Climate alarmists
I don’t understand how people who cannot predict the weather five days in advance can predict the climate decades from now.
Bankrupters
Central bankers and politicians have bankrupted the world. A lot of the distractions you see in the media and on the global-stage are meant to cover-up that reality. Most people just don’t know it yet.
The limits of their compassion
No matter how much people on the left talk about compassion, they have no compassion for the taxpayers.
Problem solvers
No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems — of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.
Will power
In the general course of human nature, a power over a man’s subsistence amounts to a power over his will.
Individual opportunity
Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by power and by force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.
Hidden taxation
Inflation is in effect a hidden tax. The money that people have saved is robbed of part of its purchasing power, which is quietly transferred to the government that issues new money.
