More quotes by John Stossel
I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.
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 politicians should not tell the people to shut up.
John Stossel
When workers can get and equal return for less effort, workers make less effort
John Stossel
Where I live in Manhattan and where I work at ABC, people say conservative the way people say child molester.
John Stossel
Freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor.
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
'Live and let life' used to be a noble approach to life. Now you're considered compassionate if you demand that government impose your preferences on others.
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
David Boaz has been my guide to the history, economics, and politics of freedom for years.
John Stossel
I like taking the subway to work.
John Stossel
Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.
John Stossel
Fraud will always exist. Enforcement of anti-fraud laws is a useful deterrent, but in the end there's no substitute for investor vigilance. Government regulations provide a false sense of security - and that's worth less than no sense of security at all.
John Stossel
Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.
John Stossel
It’s not about electing the right people. It’s about a narrowing their responsibilities.
John Stossel
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.'
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
Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.
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
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.
