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
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.
John Stossel
The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
John Stossel
I started out by viewing the marketplace as a cruel place, where you need intervention by government and lawyers to protect people. But after watching the regulators work, I have come to believe that markets are magical and the best protectors of the consumer. It is my job to explain the beauties of the free market.

Wealthier is healthier.
John Stossel
The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.
