This is the last in the series of interesting quotes to start out your New Year with some wit.

 

 

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
-Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)



Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
-Ronald Reagan (1986)



I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

-Will Rogers



If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!
-P.J. O'Rourke



In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
-Voltaire (1764)



Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!
-Pericles (430 B.C.)




No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session..
-Mark Twain (1866 )


Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.
-Unknown

Tim - Some of the dates on these are from long ago - so either the authors were very forward thinking or things haven't changed much!

I sure did get a real hoot, from these quotes. Will Rogers and Mark Twain, always had a way with words.
