More quotes by 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
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.
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
Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.
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
Prosperity comes from leaving people free in a legal system that respects their persons and property so they can pursue their dreams while taking responsibility for their actions.

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.

Patrick Henry didn't say, Give me safety, or give me death.
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.

Well, who is more likely to volunteer to take a job in a bureaucracy that has little to recommend it except that it gives you the power to use government force to control the lives of others? A dispassionate scientist or a zealot? In government, the zealots eventually take over.

I was a closet stutterer.

David Boaz has been my guide to the history, economics, and politics of freedom for years.

There's no business that's too small for government to torture
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
Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.
John Stossel
Freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor.
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
Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.
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.
