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

You are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens—even if you don't own a gun yourself. —Harry Browne

Real wages come out of production, not out of government decrees. The best way to raise wages, therefore, is to raise marginal labor productivity.
The more the individual worker produces, the more he increases the wealth of the whole community. The more he produces, the more his services are worth to consumers, and hence to employers. And the more he is worth to employers, the more he will be paid. —Henry Hazlitt

The most important change which extensive government control produces is a psychological change, an alteration in the character of the people.
This is necessarily a slow affair, a process which extends not over a few years but perhaps over one or two generations.
The important point is that the political ideals of a people and its attitude toward authority are as much the effect as the cause of the political institutions under which it lives.
This means, among other things, that EVEN a strong tradition of political liberty is no safeguard if the danger is precisely that new institutions and policies will gradually undermine and destroy that spirit.

Economic history is a long record of government policies that failed because they were designed with a bold disregard for the laws of economics. —Ludwig von Mises
