1133: John Stossel – We Have to Change the Way We Think About Govt

Every time we call for the government to fix some problem, we accelerate the growth of government. If we do not change the way we think, we will end up socialists by default, even if no one calls us that. —John StosselDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 4.34MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 211KB

1132: Frank Zappa – The Government Doesn’t Own You

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a 'temporary license to exist' — in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government, it doesn't own you. —Frank ZappaDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 2.16MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 223KB

1130: Julie Borowski – Nothing Virtuous About Stealing

There is nothing virtuous about spending other people’s money without their consent—no matter how well-intentioned the cause. Most of us would never dream of stealing money from a neighbor to give to someone less fortunate. Why then do some people demand that the government do it for them? —Julie BorowskiDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 1.43MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 194KB

I’m not scared of the Maos and the Stalins and the Hitlers. I’m scared of the thousands of millions of people that hallucinate them to be “authority”, and so do their bidding, and pay for their empires, and carry out their orders. I don’t care if there’s one looney with a stupid moustache. He’s not a threat if the people do not believe in “authority”. —Larken Rose
