A little wisdom from the past.More profound than ever

By Joe Wilson

Just a little light hearted look at a very grim subject. We now face a time where a lot of these quotes ring more true than ever


A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong
enough to take everything you have.
— Thomas Jefferson, Virginian Patriot 1743 -1826.

What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.
— Edward Langley, Artist 1928 -1995.

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)

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car
keys to teenage boys. — P. J. O’Rourke, Civil Libertarian.

Democracy mus t be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on
what to have for dinner. — James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the
support of Paul. — George Bernard Shaw.
