John Stossel
The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
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
We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers.

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
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.
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 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
The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.
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
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.
John Stossel
