Harry Browne quotes about
thinking government liberty
Can you think of a single area of government in which George Bush hasn't already made things worse than Bill Clinton did?
believe thinking community
Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions.
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.
thinking fbi-agents rights
...The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances.

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.

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.
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.
