Government truisms Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress... But, then I repeat myself. - Mark Twain I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket trying to lift himself up by the handle. - Winston Churchill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. - George Bernard Shaw A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man... which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. - G. Gordon Liddy Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. - Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University 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 (1986) I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. - Will Rogers If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! - P.J. O'Rourke Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! - Pericles (430 B.C.) No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. - Mark Twain (1866) The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. - Ronald Reagan The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. - Mark Twain The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. - Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903) There is no distinctly Native American criminal class... save Congress. - Mark Twain What this country needs is more unemployed politicians. - Edward Langley, Artist (1928 - 1995) A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
- Thomas Jefferson
