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.1019: F.A.

It leads to the overexpansion of some industries at the expense of others. This involves a misapplication and waste of capital. Yet the ardor for inflation never dies. It would almost seem as if no country is capable of profiting from the experience of another and no generation of learning from the sufferings of its forebears. For it is the nature of inflation to give birth to a thousand illusions. —Henry Hazlitt1027: Henry Hazlitt – Government Creates Artificial Demand https://misesmemes.com/1028-henry-hazlitt-increase-wages/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1028-henry-hazlitt-increase-wages.jpgReal 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 Hazlitt1028: Henry Hazlitt – How to Increase Wages https://misesmemes.com/1029-thomas-sowell-rising-prices-and-greed/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1029-thomas-sowell-rising-prices-and-greed.jpgWhile rising prices are likely to reflect changes in supply and demand, people ignorant of economics may attribute price rises to greed. —Thomas Sowell1029: Thomas Sowell – Rising Prices and Greedhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1029-thomas-sowell-rising-prices-and-greed.jpgWhile rising prices are likely to reflect changes in supply and demand, people ignorant of economics may attribute price rises to greed. —Thomas Sowell1029: Thomas Sowell – Rising Prices and Greed https://misesmemes.com/1030-henry-hazlitt-2008-housing-collapse/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1030-henry-hazlitt-2008-housing-collapse.pngGovernment-guaranteed home mortgages, especially when a negligible down payment or no down payment whatever is required, inevitably mean more bad loans than otherwise. They force the general taxpayer to subsidize the bad risks and to defray the losses. They encourage people to buy houses that they cannot really afford. They tend eventually to bring about an over-supply of houses. They temporarily over stimulate building, raise the cost of building for everybody. May mislead the building industry into an eventually over expansion. In brief, in the long run they do not increase overall national production but encourage malinvestment. —Henry Hazlitt1030: Henry Hazlitt – Predicted 2008 Housing Collapse https://misesmemes.com/1031-thomas-sowell-sense-of-victimhood/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1031-thomas-sowell-sense-of-victimhood.jpgIntellectuals give people who have the handicap of poverty the further handicap of the sense of victimhood. —Thomas Sowell1031: Thomas Sowell – Poverty & Sense of Victimhoodhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1031-thomas-sowell-sense-of-victimhood.jpgIntellectuals give people who have the handicap of poverty the further handicap of the sense of victimhood. —Thomas Sowell1031: Thomas Sowell – Poverty & Sense of Victimhood https://misesmemes.com/1032-walter-williams-government-and-bloated-egos/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1032-walter-williams-government-and-bloated-egos.jpgPowerful government tends to draw into it people with bloated egos.

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.

Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence—not skin color, gender, or ethnicity. —Ron Paul1064: Ron Paul – Racism is Collectivism https://misesmemes.com/1065-david-friedman-share-in-someones-wealth/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1065-david-friedman-share-in-someone-wealth.jpgI see no reason better than greed for claiming that I 'deserve' a share of someone else's wealth, which I have had no part in producing. —David Friedman (The Machinery of Freedom)1065: David Friedman – Your Share in Someone’s Wealthhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1065-david-friedman-share-in-someone-wealth.jpgI see no reason better than greed for claiming that I 'deserve' a share of someone else's wealth, which I have had no part in producing. —David Friedman (The Machinery of Freedom)1065: David Friedman – Your Share in Someone’s Wealthhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lw1065-david-friedman-share-in-someones-wealth.jpgI see no reason better than greed for claiming that I 'deserve' a share of someone else's wealth, which I have had no part in producing. —David Friedman (The Machinery of Freedom)1065: David Friedman – Your Share in Someone’s Wealthhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lf1065-david-friedman-share-in-someones-wealth.jpgI see no reason better than greed for claiming that I 'deserve' a share of someone else's wealth, which I have had no part in producing. —David Friedman (The Machinery of Freedom)1065: David Friedman – Your Share in Someone’s Wealth https://misesmemes.com/1067-adam-kokesh-education-of-ourselves/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1067-adam-kokesh-education-of-ourselves.jpgEducation of others starts with education of ourselves.

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 Mises1082: Ludwig von Mises – Why Some are Unhappy Under Capitalism https://misesmemes.com/1083-thomas-jefferson-obligated-to-disobey/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1083-thomas-jefferson-obligated-to-disobey.pngIf a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. —Thomas Jefferson1083: Thomas Jefferson – Obligated to Disobey Unjust Lawshttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1083-thomas-jefferson-obligated-to-disobey.pngIf a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. —Thomas Jefferson1083: Thomas Jefferson – Obligated to Disobey Unjust Laws https://misesmemes.com/1084-thomas-sowell-understood-economics/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1084-thomas-sowell-understood-economics.pngIf the average citizen understood the basics of economics that was understood 200 years ago, most of the nonsense that is done in Washington would be impossible today. —Thomas Sowell1084: Thomas Sowell – If the Average Citizen Understood Economicshttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1084-thomas-sowell-understood-economics.pngIf the average citizen understood the basics of economics that was understood 200 years ago, most of the nonsense that is done in Washington would be impossible today. —Thomas Sowell1084: Thomas Sowell – If the Average Citizen Understood Economics https://misesmemes.com/1085-thomas-sowell-unemployment-and-great-depression/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1085-thomas-sowell-unemployment-and-great-depression.pngPeople say the government had to intervene during the Great Depression because of the 25% unemployment.

There’s a huge volume of evidence out there. Think of the 50 states, each having all kinds of different gun laws. Think of all the countries around the world with different gun laws. There’s different periods of history when there were different gun laws. There are all kinds of ways they can be compared. And so you have a MOUNTAIN of evidence, if you were looking for evidence. Instead they simply assume that if you have tighter gun laws you have lower murder rates. And there’s tons of empirical evidence pointing just on the opposite direction. —Thomas Sowell1086: Thomas Sowell – Assumptions about Gun Laws https://misesmemes.com/1087-murray-rothbard-define-rights/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1087-murray-rothbard-define-rights.png"Right" has cogently and trenchantly been defined by Professor Sadowsky: “When we say that one has the right to do certain things we mean this and only this, that it would be immoral for another, alone or in combination, to stop him from doing this by the use of physical force or the threat thereof. We do not mean that any use a man makes of his property within the limits set forth is necessarily a moral use.” Sadowsky's definition highlights the crucial distinction between a man's right and the morality or immorality of his exercise of that right. —Murray Rothbard (The Ethics of Liberty)1087: Murray Rothbard – How Do We Define Rights? https://misesmemes.com/1088-part-of-a-bigger-story/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1088-part-of-a-bigger-story.pngEveryone is part of a bigger story whether for or against human freedom.

Utilitarians, with their devotion to expediency, almost inevitably oppose any sort of upsetting or radical change. Hence, utilitarians are never immediate abolitionists. They became mere gradualist reformers. But in becoming reformers, they also put themselves inevitably into the position of advisers and efficiency experts to the State. In other words, they inevitably came to abandon libertarian principle as well as a principled libertarian strategy. The utilitarians wound up as apologists for the existing order, for the status quo. Thus, they wound up as the image of the thing they had fought. —Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty)1094: Murray Rothbard – There are No Utilitarian Revolutionaries https://misesmemes.com/1095-frederic-bastiat-the-law/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1095-frederic-bastiat-the-law.jpgStock up on some libertarian ammunition for your mind.1095: Frederic Bastiat – The Law https://misesmemes.com/1096-harry-browne-dont-call-theft-compassion/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1096-harry-browne-don-t-call-theft-compassion.pngIt's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that compassion. —Harry Browne1096: Harry Browne – Don’t Call Theft Compassionhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1096-harry-browne-don-t-call-theft-compassion.pngIt's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that compassion. —Harry Browne1096: Harry Browne – Don’t Call Theft Compassion https://misesmemes.com/1097-harry-browne-republicans-govern-like-democrats/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1097-harry-browne-republicans-govern-like-democrats-1.jpgRepublicans campaign like Libertarians and govern like Democrats. —Harry Browne1097: Harry Browne – Republicans Govern like Democratshttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1097-harry-browne-republicans-govern-like-democrats.jpgRepublicans campaign like Libertarians and govern like Democrats. —Harry Browne1097: Harry Browne – Republicans Govern like Democrats https://misesmemes.com/1099-emma-goldman-only-as-much-liberty/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1099-emma-goldman-only-as-much-liberty.jpgPeople have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take. —Emma Goldman1099: Emma Goldman – The Courage to Take Libertyhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1099-emma-goldman-only-as-much-liberty.pngPeople have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take. —Emma Goldman1099: Emma Goldman – The Courage to Take Liberty https://misesmemes.com/1100-rose-wilder-lane-economic-security-and-human-rights/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1100-rose-wilder-lane-economic-security-and-human-rights.pngAnyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too much babied.

So it’s become a very timid organization in the past 6 or 8 years. —David Nolan1109: David Nolan – LP Founder on the Libertarian Party https://misesmemes.com/1111-john-stossel-crisis-and-fear/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1111-john-stossel-crisis-and-fear.jpgCrisis and Fear are the friends of the state. —John Stossel1111: John Stossel – Crisis and Fear are Friends of the Statehttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1111-john-stossel-crisis-and-fear.jpgCrisis and Fear are the friends of the state. —John Stossel1111: John Stossel – Crisis and Fear are Friends of the Statehttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lpmc1111-lp.jpgCrisis and Fear are the friends of the state. —John Stossel1111: John Stossel – Crisis and Fear are Friends of the Statehttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lpmc1111-wide-lp.jpgCrisis and Fear are the friends of the state. —John Stossel1111: John Stossel – Crisis and Fear are Friends of the State https://misesmemes.com/1112-larken-rose-belief-in-authority/https://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/f1112-larken-rose-belief-in-authority.jpgI'm not scared of the Maos and the Stalins and the Hitlers.

They often argue that charity is demeaning and degrading to the recipient, and that he should therefore be taught that the money is rightly his, to be given to him by the government as his due. An act of charity, when given voluntarily, is generally considered temporary and offered with the object of helping a man to help himself. But when the dole is ladled out by the State, it becomes permanent and perpetually degrading, keeping the recipients in a state of subservience. Anyone who considers private charity degrading must logically conclude that State charity is far more so. —Murray Rothbard1248: Murray Rothbard – Statists are Really Opposed to Charityhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/w1248-murray-rothbard-statists-are-really-opposed-to-charity.pngStatists, in fact, are really opposed to charity.

As welfare policy expert Robert Rector put it: The welfare system that has existed for the past thirty years may best be conceptualized as a system that offered each single mother with two children a “paycheck” of combined benefits worth an average of between $8,500 and $15,000, depending on the state. The mother had a contract with the government. She would continue to receive her “paycheck” as long as she fulfilled two conditions: 1. She must not work. 2. She must not marry an employed male. Walter Williams: The greatest percentage of poverty is found in female-headed households. Over 70 percent of female-headed households are poor. A large percentage of poor people are children (17 percent); fully 85 percent of black children living in poverty reside in a female-headed household.1279: Bob Murphy, Walter Williams – Perpetuating Povertyhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lf1279-bob-murphy-walter-williams-perpetuating-poverty.jpgGovernment handouts actually perpetuate poverty by creating a culture of dependency.

Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects — his laziness, incompetence, improvidence or stupidity. Never believe in the honesty or disinterestedness of anyone who disagrees with you. This basic hatred is the heart of Marxism. This is its animating force. You can throw away the dialectical materialism, the Hegelian framework, the technical jargon, the “scientific” analysis, and millions of pretentious words, and you still have the core: the implacable hatred and envy that are the raison d’etre for all the rest. — Henry Hazlitt1280: Henry Hazlitt: The Gospel of Marxismhttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lf1280-henry-hazlitt-the-gospel-of-marxism.jpgThe whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are.

Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.

A bureaucrat’s success depends on his political pull. A businessman cannot force you to buy his product; if he makes a mistake, he suffers the consequences; if he fails, he takes the loss. A bureaucrat forces you to obey his decisions, whether you agree with him or not—and the more advanced the stage of a country’s statism, the wider and more discretionary the powers wielded by a bureaucrat. If he makes a mistake, you suffer the consequences; if he fails, he passes the loss on to you, in the form of heavier taxes. —Ayn Rand1295: Ayn Rand – Businessmen vs. Bureaucratshttps://misesmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/lf1295-ayn-rand-businessmen-vs-bureaucrats.jpgA businessman’s success depends on his intelligence, his knowledge, his productive ability, his economic judgment—and on the voluntary agreement of all those he deals with: his customers, his suppliers, his employees, his creditors or investors.
