"Since no one but you can know what’s best for you, government control can’t make your life better." ― Harry Browne Topic(s): Government More From Harry Browne "I found that I was getting a warm reception for my message of freeing you from the income tax, releasing you from Social Security, ending the insane war on drugs, restoring gun rights, and reducing the federal government to just its constitutional functions." "The government’s War on Poverty has transformed poverty from a short-term misfortune into a career choice." "Government is force, pure and simple. There’s no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society – people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily." More In Government "The public is upset. If they haven’t lost their job, they know somebody that has. If they haven’t lost their house, they know somebody that has. What do you do? When something’s wrong, it’s government’s job to fix it, it must be government that’s responsible for causing it."― Michael Bloomberg "Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,’ I says, ‘but don’t insult me poor bleedin’ country."― Edward Abbey "First of all, I can’t forget my first responsibility – which is to be the Leader of the Opposition and that’s to provide an alternative government."― Stephen Harper
