    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



    Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

    Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
    -Frederic Bastiat, 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.

    -Mark Twain (1866)


    Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.
    -Unknown


    The government is like a baby's alimentary canal with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
    -Ronald Reagan

    -Mark Twain


    There is no distinctly Native American criminal class...save Congress.
    -Mark Twain



    What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.
