James Bovard

"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."

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

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

"The better that people understand what Clinton did in office, the greater the nation's chances for political recovery."

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

"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."
