More quotes by John Stossel
Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.
John Stossel
Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.
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.
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.

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
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
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.
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
The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.
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
I like taking the subway to work.
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
The people who have the biggest passion for restricting other people's behavior are the very people we should worry about most. Unfortunately, they keep running for office.
John Stossel
The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
