Observations on
Politics and that sort of thing…

are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are
misinformed.

into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself
up by the handle.

Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Government is the great fiction,
through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Frederic Bastiat,
French Economist (1801-1850)
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
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the
facts.

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.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics
doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!

The ultimate result of shielding men
from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.
