Walter E. Williams

• No matter how worthy the cause, it is robbery, theft & injustice to confiscate the property of 1 person & give it to another to whom it does not belong.
• Don't make the mistake of equating economic freedom with democracy. — Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism (p.178)
• How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi & Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes. Legality, alone, cannot be the talisman of moral people.
• I prefer a thief to a Congressman. A thief will take your money & be on their way, but a Congressman will stand there & bore you with the reasons why he took it.

Thomas Sowell

• The cold fact is that income is not distributed: It is earned. — The Vision of the Anointed (p.211)
• Racism is not dead, but it is on life support – kept alive by politicians, race hustlers & people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists'.
• If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools & make excuses for their academic shortcomings & personal misbehavior. But please don't congratulate yourself on your compassion.
• Nobody is equal to anybody. Even the same man is not equal to himself on different days.
• If a public library declines to buy some avant-grade book approved by [the Left], because either the librarian or the tax-paying public do not like it, that is called 'censorship'--even though the book remains freely available to all who wish to buy it. (1995) 
  

Thomas Paine

• Money is Money & Paper is Paper. All the invention of man cannot make them otherwise.
• Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable 1.

Terence McKenna

The truth does not require your participation to exist. Bullshit does.

Stefan Molyneux

You cannot have an agency that defends your property, which also has the right to violate your property rights at will. That’s like hiring a bodyguard that you pay to beat you up randomly.
