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
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
I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.
John Stossel

John Stossel
Madoff's scam was small compared to Ponzi schemes the government itself runs: Social Security and Medicare.
John Stossel
We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers.
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
