More quotes by John Stossel
Madoff's scam was small compared to Ponzi schemes the government itself runs: Social Security and Medicare.
John Stossel
The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
John Stossel
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.

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
The politicians should not tell the people to shut up.
John Stossel
Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.

John Stossel
Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.

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
We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers.
John Stossel
I was a closet stutterer.
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
I never wanted to be an anchor for 25 years, and suddenly I wanted to be one.
John Stossel
Asking someone in the media about liberal bias is like asking a fish about water. 'Huh, what are you talking about? Where is it?'
John Stossel
Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.
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.
