That dirty foreigners don’t deserve’ —David Friedman

1105: Jacob Hornberger – Dismantle not Reform Govt Agencies

The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. The long-term solution is to dismantle, not reform, the iron fist of the welfare state and the controlled economy. This includes the end (not the reform) of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, the SEC, the FDA, HUD, the departments of HHS, Labor, Agriculture, and Energy, and every other agency that takes money from some and gives it to others or interferes with peaceful behavior. —Jacob Hornberger

1085: Thomas Sowell – 25% Unemployment and Great Depression

1047: Rose Wilder Lane – Roman Peace Collapsed

Roman Peace was designed to last forever. When Diocletian perfected it, its economy was so thoroughly planned and so well administered that farmers could no longer farm nor workers work, and Government took care of them on the relief that taxes provided. Until the increasing taxes pushed so many farmers and workers onto tax-supported relief that there was not enough productive energy left to pay the taxes. And the Roman empire with its world peace collapsed into the Dark Ages. —Rose Wilder Lane

1041: Gloria Alvarez – Socialism Has Failed on Every Continent

We have seen Socialism fail on every continent of the planet. But when there is ignorance and when there are people who resent the way of competition and free-market ideas then Socialism can arise. —Gloria Alvarez
