irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 AGELESS WIT AND OBSERVATIONS "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed." - Mark Twain 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 and 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 Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. - James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994) 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. - P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavours 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 In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. - Voltaire (1764) 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 ) 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 The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. - Winston Churchill 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 are 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
