“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable.”

The Obama administration actually bragged about expanding food stamp rolls and claimed they were good for the economy.”
― Thomas J. DiLorenzo, The Problem with Socialism

“Of course, no one can have a "right" to such material things unless someone else can be compelled to pay for them.”
― Thomas J. DiLorenzo, The Problem with Socialism

“As George Orwell might have said, with socialism all men are created equal, only some are more equal than others.”
― Thomas J. DiLorenzo, The Problem with Socialism
