"Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?" ― Rand Paul Topic(s): Government More From Rand Paul "For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, ‘you don’t build that.’" "You can’t have it both ways. You can’t tell me that you’re taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, ‘Bring me home some bacon.’ The pig has been picked clean." "I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who’s handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator."
