Harry Browne
Once we realize that government doesn't work, we'll know that the only way to improve government is by reducing its size - by doing away with laws, by getting rid of programs, by making government spend and tax less, by reducing government as far as we can.
Harry Browne
Most politicians believe in just one thing - winning elections. They'll say anything to get in office and stay there.
Harry Browne
