More quotes by John Stossel
What happened under communism - and increasingly, is happening in America, as Joseph Sobran put it: 'Need' now means wanting someone else's money. 'Greed' means wanting to keep your own. 'Compassion' is when a politician arranges the transfer.'
John Stossel
I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government.
John Stossel
You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.
John Stossel
The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.
John Stossel
The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
John Stossel
What private property does is connect effort to reward, creating an incentive for people to produce for more. Then, if there's a free market, people will trade their surpluses to others for the things they lack. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the community richer.
John Stossel
Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.
John Stossel
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.

I like taking the subway to work.

It’s not about electing the right people. It’s about a narrowing their responsibilities.
John Stossel
Government has no money of its own. All it does is take resources from one group and given them to another.
John Stossel
Central authority is bad. The bias should be for freedom. And without a central authority, there are lots of little authorities, and we learn which ones to trust.
John Stossel
A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.
John Stossel
'Live and let life' used to be a noble approach to life. Now you're considered compassionate if you demand that government impose your preferences on others.
John Stossel
Madoff's scam was small compared to Ponzi schemes the government itself runs: Social Security and Medicare.
John Stossel
Freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor.
John Stossel
Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.
John Stossel
I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.
John Stossel
The politicians should not tell the people to shut up.
John Stossel
Patrick Henry didn't say, Give me safety, or give me death.
