Thomas Paine "From such beginnings of governments, what could be expected, but a continual system of war and extortion?" Thomas Paine "The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution." Ronald Reagan "If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost." Aristotle "Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem." Ronald Reagan "...a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government." Thomas Jefferson "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances with none." Thomas Jefferson "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, the power to destroy." Daniel Webster "Every government is a scoundrel." Henry Mencken "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex." Dwight Eisenhower "A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...If the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." Thomas Jefferson "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." George Bernard Shaw "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel or envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin "I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death." George Carlin "How lucky for those in power that people don't think." Adolf Hitler "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Samuel Adams "So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs." Elbert Hubbard "A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives." James Madison "I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word 'fair' in connection with income tax policies." William F.
