“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not”
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.”
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”
