POLITICAL QUOTES
— Winston Churchill If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed…if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal. A happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. And the best one is saved for last:
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

— Mark Twain
— George Bernard Shaw
— G. Gordon Liddy
—James Bovard,
—P.J. O’Rourke,
— Ronald Reagan
—Mark Twain
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
— Thomas Jefferson
