Freedom is the key to Godliness - Leonard Read

I have never met a single European who had a clean, clear-cut understanding of the principles of strictly limited government.

I have yet to find a person who does not agree with this: "It is wrong for me to control you or for you to control me." Then I say, "It is wrong for two of us to control you." Agreed. Then I say, It is wrong for 150 million of us to control you." Agreed. But the BUT arises as soon as most persons begin to reason from the general to the particular. The penetration of the social cancer is so deep that they can no longer see how persons could be educated, or roads could be built, or the mails delivered, or prosperity made possible, short of coercion, the thing they admit to be evil.

Socialism is founded on a lie -- the premise that man knows more than he in fact does know.
