REMEMBER THIS NEXT TIME YOU PAY YOUR TAXES:
"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." - Frederic Bastiat

AND THIS ONE NEXT TIME AN OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL OR STIMULUS BILL IS IN THE NEWS:
"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions." - James Madison

FROM THE MOUTHS OF FORMER COMMUNISTS:
Coming from, first, Europe and, second, from a former communist country.......I almost don't believe my eyes to see how much here you believe in government and how much you don't believe in the market. This is for me a shocking experience and I have to say that very loudly.......It seems to me that the fight for freedom — for free markets — is still the task of the day.....
I don't think that the current problem in the world — in this country — is the example of a market failure. I think it is the example of government failure. I am absolutely sure that the current crisis is the "just" price we all of us have to pay for the attempts of politicians to "play" with the markets. I am not one to say: blame the markets. No. Blame the politicians. - Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic and former economics professor, at the Wall Street Journal's Economics Conference.
THE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN WHEN THE CURRENT AND FORMER COMMUNISTS TALK A BETTER GAME OF CAPITALISM THAN WE DO.
We have the Chinese Communists lecturing the U.S. about fiscal responsibility. Putin and his cronies talking more free market mantra than our elected leaders. We are living in a topsy-turvy world.
