The politicians are preachers, and the preachers are politicians. The tax collectors collect for themselves. The Bad People want us to have more dough, and the good people are fighting to keep it from us. It's not good for us, know what I mean? If we had all we wanted to eat, we'd eat too much. We'd have inflation in the toilet paper industry. That's the way I understand it. That's about the size of some of the arguments I've heard.

Jim Thompson

Charlie Munger

Republicans want smaller government for the same reason crooks want fewer cops; it's easier to get away with murder.

James Carville

Craig Newmark
