We did not seek politics, it was thrust upon us by the state. It is absurd not to make use of the political machinery to roll back the state. —Murray Rothbard

The do-gooders and busybodies of the world get themselves elected in government so that they can tell the rest of us how to live. — Judge Andrew Napolitano (Mises Institute, 13 July 2020)

As long as government has the power to regulate business, business will control government, by funding the candidate that legislates in their favor. A free-market thwarts lobbying by taking the power that corporations seek, away from government! The only sure way to prevent the rich from buying unfair government influence is to stop allowing government to use physical force against peaceful people. —Mary J. Ruwart

Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him. While he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—Society, The State, The Government, The Commune—must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is. —Rose Wilder Lane

When did you ever see any gun control advocate come up with numbers to show that gun control reduces murders? There’s a huge volume of evidence out there. Think of the 50 states, each having all kinds of different gun laws. Think of all the countries around the world with different gun laws. There’s different periods of history when there were different gun laws. There are all kinds of ways they can be compared. And so you have a MOUNTAIN of evidence, if you were looking for evidence.
Instead they simply assume that if you have tighter gun laws you have lower murder rates. And there’s tons of empirical evidence pointing just on the opposite direction. —Thomas Sowell

People say the government had to intervene during the Great Depression because of the
25% unemployment. What they don't understand is there wasn’t a 25% unemployment UNTIL the government intervened. —Thomas Sowell
