It should be remembered that men of courage, integrity, and principle can stand up to Big Brother and resist the headlong march into economic tyranny. - Richard Ebeling

Socialism's failure in the former Soviet Union and in the other socialist countries stands as a clean and unquestionable warning as to which path any rational and sane people should never follow again. Government planning brought poverty and ruin...
