"The distinctive principle of Western social philosophy is individualism. It aims at the creation of a sphere in which the individual is free to think, to choose, and to act without being restrained by the interference of the social apparatus of coercion and oppression, the State." --- Ludwig von Mises
How satisfied are you with President Obama's agenda?
"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others." --- Ayn Rand
Mises
"The usual terminology of political language is stupid. What is 'left' and what is 'right'? Why should Hitler be 'right' and Stalin, his temporary friend, be 'left'? Who is 'reactionary' and who is 'progressive'? Reaction against an unwise policy is not to be condemned. And progress towards chaos is not to be commended. Nothing should find acceptance just because it is new, radical, and fashionable. 'Orthodoxy' is not an evil if the doctrine on which the 'orthodox' stand is sound. Who is anti-labor, those who want to lower labor to the Russian level, or those who want for labor the capitalistic standard of the United States? Who is 'nationalist,' those who want to bring their nation under the heel of the Nazis, or those who want to preserve its independence?" --- Ludwig von Mises
"The rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich ... ditto for the poor." - Neal Boortz
"Throughout history, the attachment of even the humblest people to their freedom…has come as an unpleasant shock to condescending ideologues." -Paul Johnson
"Keynes was wrong when he said 'in the long run, we are all dead.' In the long run, Keynes is dead and the rest of us suffer in a world based on his false philosophy." - Bill Butler
"In times like these, it's important to remember that there have always been times like these."-- Paul Harvey
"The urge to distribute wealth equally, and still more the belief that it can be brought about by political action, is the most dangerous of all popular emotions. It is the legitimation of envy, of all the deadly sins the one which a stable society based on consensus should fear the most. The monster state is a source of many evils; but it is, above all, an engine of envy. " -- Paul Johnson
