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

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

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

What makes many feel unhappy under capitalism is the fact that capitalism grants to each the opportunity to attain the most desirable positions which, of course, can only be attained by a few.
In order to console himself and to restore his self-assertion, such a man is in search of a scapegoat. He tries to persuade himself that he failed through no fault of his own.
They sublimate their hatred into a philosophy, the philosophy of anti-capitalism, in order to render inaudible the inner voice that tells them that their failure is entirely their own fault.
The suffering from frustrated ambition is peculiar to people living in a society of equality under the law. It is not caused by equality under the law, but by the fact that in a society of equality under the law the inequality of men with regard to intellectual abilities, will power and application becomes visible. The gulf between what a man is and achieves and what he thinks of his own abilities and achievements is pitilessly revealed. —Ludwig von Mises

It is not right for one person to steal. It is not right for two people to steal. It is still not right for 51% of a voting population to vote for a representative who will hire a tax collector to steal for them. One of the great government lies is that theft can be moral when performed by enough people and called taxation. —Adam Kokesh

People pull through hard times. What I can’t understand is, how can anybody figure that the government can support us, when we support the government. —Rose Wilder Lane (The Discovery of Freedom: Man's Struggle Against Authority)

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

It’s amazing that people don’t understand that the more the market is involved and the smaller the government, the lower the price, the better the distribution, and the higher the quality. —Ron Paul

Powerful government tends to draw into it people with bloated egos. People who think they know more than everyone else and have little hesitance in coercing their fellow man. Or as Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek said, "in government, the scum rises to the top" —Walter Williams
