Harry Browne quotes about
government ideas people
Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world - people who will cause trouble if the government doesn't restrain them.
government ideas liberty
Our government, taxes, and ideas of freedom are already duplicates of the Old World. Our politicians determine how we should live our lives - and our individual liberties are sacrificed for the benefit of the Fatherland.
thinking government ideas
The press is hostile to the idea of liberty. Most people in the press are for big government. Most people think that the solution to anything, whether it's health care problems, education, whatever it is - it's got to be more government.
simple ideas government
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.
dry unusual wind
The wind just hindered us today, to be honest. As dry as it is, it's not unusual at all.

People can identify with the personality of their favorite bookstore.
good
A show's a show, and this is for a good cause.
hard
When those things get to burning, it's hard to get them out.
business cost dodge fair legitimate operating others protecting
This is the legitimate cost of operating a responsible business and protecting the taxpayers. Phelps Dodge is free-riding, and it's not fair to others who are being more responsible.

While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.
past liberty libertarian
Not only can no one predict the future, we don't understand the present - and there isn't even any certainty about the past.
country war inspiration
In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties.
children simple government
Libertarians understand a very simple fact of life: Government doesn't work. It can't deliver the mail on time, it doesn't keep our cities safe, it doesn't educate our children properly.
war world politician
World War II has always been of great interest to me. I've known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.
