Quote 369
"No-one can be forced to buy what which he does not want, still less to pay for that which he has not bought. (Yet this is exactly what happens in government by proxy.)"
-- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
"You compare the nation, perhaps to a parched tract of land, and the tax to a fertilising rain. Be it so. But you ought also to ask yourself where are the sources of this rain, and whether it is not the tax itself which draws away the moisture from the ground and dries it up?"
The idea money is not being effectively used unless it is first confiscated by the government and redistributed is mind boggling.

Milton Freidman on Government spending- You can spend your own money on yourself
- You can spend your own money on others (gifts - you are a little less careful what you spend it on, as you won't be consuming it)
- You can spend other peoples money on yourself ( Company lunch -you are very careful what it is spent on , but do care how its paid for)
- You can spend someone elses money on someone else (like teachers spending on school children, this is the worst as you don't care where it comes from and don't care too much where it goes)
Peter Schifff on Government spending- We are creating fiscal child abuse
- The government could do something, ... cut debt
- Some people say government are the only ones who can do something, but that is not true.
- We have become a nation of inconvenience minimisers in the short run
