"Instead of revealing the “will of the people,” election results are often only a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions."

"Government cannot make trade more fair by making it less free."

"Rather than a democracy, we increasingly have an elective dictatorship. People are merely permitted to choose who will violate the laws and the Constitution."

"A law is simply a reflection of the momentary perception of self-interest by a majority of a legislative body."

"A democratic government that respects no limits on its power is a ticking time bomb, waiting to destroy the rights it was created to protect."

"“Fair trade” is a moral delusion that could be leading to an economic catastrophe."

"The U.S. government has created a trade lynch law that can convict foreign companies almost regardless of how they operate."

"So much of political philosophy throughout history has consisted of concocting reasons why people have a duty to be tame animals in politicians’ cages."
