More quotes by John Stossel
A system that rewards politicians skilled at campaigning - which is the art of creating an illusion - and that puts hundreds of billions of coerced taxpayer dollars at the disposal of the winners will tend to attract men and women with a comparative advantage in manipulation.
John Stossel
Wealthier is healthier.
John Stossel
Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.
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
Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.

I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.
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
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
Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it.
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
I was a closet stutterer.
John Stossel
Isn't allowing people a choice what America is all about?
John Stossel
Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.
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
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
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
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
Unions say, 'Education of the children is too important to be left to the vagaries of the market.' The opposite is true. Education is too important to be left to the calcified union/government monopoly.

Madoff's scam was small compared to Ponzi schemes the government itself runs: Social Security and Medicare.
