More quotes by John Stossel
Wealthier is healthier.
John Stossel
Madoff's scam was small compared to Ponzi schemes the government itself runs: Social Security and Medicare.
John Stossel
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.
John Stossel
Isn't allowing people a choice what America is all about?
John Stossel
Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.
John Stossel
People acting in their own self-interest is the fuel for all the discovery, innovation, and prosperity that powers the world.
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
When workers can get and equal return for less effort, workers make less effort
John Stossel
Asking someone in the media about liberal bias is like asking a fish about water. 'Huh, what are you talking about? Where is it?'

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.

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
The political class can't imagine a decentralized world where good things happen...without them. But in the real world, that's exactly how good things happen, and how jobs are created. When government sets simple rules that everyone understands and then gets out of the way, free people create jobs.
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
You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.
John Stossel
Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it.
John Stossel
Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.
John Stossel
Fraud will always exist. Enforcement of anti-fraud laws is a useful deterrent, but in the end there's no substitute for investor vigilance. Government regulations provide a false sense of security - and that's worth less than no sense of security at all.
John Stossel
I was bullied as a kid, and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.
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
We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers.
