When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads. Ron Paul
I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card. Ron Paul
There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you. Will Rogers

The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination. Voltaire

Look, at some point, you cease being a free economy, and you become a government economy. And we've got to stop that. Mitt Romney
The universe never did make sense I suspect it was built on government contract. Robert A. Heinlein
Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government. Thomas Sowell
