Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. ~H.L. Mencken 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 A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. ~Thomas Jefferson “If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” ~Mark Twain Suppose you were an idiot.  And suppose you were a member of Congress….But then I repeat myself. ~Mark Twain
I 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 A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. ~ George Bernard Shaw A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. ~G. Gordon Liddy Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. ~James Bovard, Civil Libertarian	Tip o the hat to Freeper april15Bendovr

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)T The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal:  a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. ~Ronald Reagan
	The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings.The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. ~Winston Churchill The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. ~Mark Twain The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. ~Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820~1903) There is no distinctly Native American criminal class…save Congress. ~Mark Twain What this country needs are more unemployed politicians. ~Edward Langley, Artist (1928 ~ 1995)
