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.

John Stossel
It’s not about electing the right people. It’s about a narrowing their responsibilities.
John Stossel
Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.
John Stossel
Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it.

What happened under communism - and increasingly, is happening in America, as Joseph Sobran put it: 'Need' now means wanting someone else's money. 'Greed' means wanting to keep your own. 'Compassion' is when a politician arranges the transfer.'
