I hope these pages will be interesting and informative. There will be humour along
with facts and figures.
-Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the
expense of everybody else.
Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases.
It if keeps moving, regulate it
And if it stops moving, subsidize it
I contend that for a nation to try
to tax itself into prosperity is like
a man standing in a bucket and
trying to lift himself up by the
handle.
A government which robs Peter
to pay Paul can always depend
on the support of Paul.
