1152: David Friedman – Millions of People Would Like to Become Americans

W1152: David Friedman - Millions of People Would Like to Become Americans
There are people, probably many millions, who would like to come here, live here, work here, raise their children here, die here. There are people who would like to become Americans, as our parents and grandparents did. If we want to be honest, we can ship the Statue of Liberty back to France or replace the outdated verse with new lines, 'America the closed preserve. That dirty foreigners don't deserve' —David Friedman

1105: Jacob Hornberger – Dismantle not Reform Govt Agencies

F1105: Jacob Hornberger - Dismantle not Reform
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

1102: Mary J. Ruwart – Business will Control Govt

W1102: Mary J. Ruwart - Business will Control Govt
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

1100: Rose Wilder Lane – Economic Security and Human Rights

W1100: Rose Wilder Lane - Economic Security and Human Rights
Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him. While he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—Society, The State, The Government, The Commune—must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is. —Rose Wilder Lane

W1075: Ayn Rand - Statists and Control
One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary. —Ayn Rand
