When your money is taken by a thief, you get nothing in return. When your money is taken through taxes to support needless bureaucrats, precisely the same situation exists.

Henry Hazlitt

I can actually approve of some of Donald Trump's North Korea policy, the sanctions, for example, doing things that other presidents would have done.
