In comments to Tam’s post on the limits of government to bailout anyone but themselves, Divemedic offers some choice quotes.
“We are living in a sick society filled with people who would not directly steal from their neighbor, but who are willing to demand that the government do it for them.”
– William L. Comer
“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”
– Winston Churchill
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced. If the nation doesn’t want to go bankrupt, people must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
– Marcus Tullius Cicero
“If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else’s expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves.”
– Thomas Sowell
