Gov
1) Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.
--Mark Twain 2) I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. --Winston Churchill 3) A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. --George Bernard Shaw 4) A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. --G. Gordon Liddy 5) Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. --James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994) 6) Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. --Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown Univ. 7) Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. --P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian 8) Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. --Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850) 9) Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. --Ronald Reagan (1986) 10) I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --Will Rogers 11) If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free. --P.J. O'Rourke 12) In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. --Voltaire (1764) 13) Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. --Pericles (430 B.C.) 14) No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. --Mark Twain (1866) 15) Talk is cheap ... except when Congress does it. --Unknown 16) The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. --Ronald Reagan 17) The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. --Winston Churchill 18) The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. --Mark Twain 19) The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. --Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903) 20) There is no distinctly native American criminal class...save Congress. --Mark Twain 21) What this country needs are more unemployed politicians. --Edward Langley, Artist (1928 - 1995) 22) A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. --Thomas Jefferson |
