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.

More quotes by John Stossel
I like taking the subway to work.
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 people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
John Stossel
It’s not about electing the right people. It’s about a narrowing their responsibilities.
John Stossel
Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.
John Stossel
I was bullied as a kid, and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.
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
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.
John Stossel
Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.
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
Wealthier is healthier.
John Stossel
I was a closet stutterer.
John Stossel
Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it.
John Stossel
I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.
John Stossel
Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.
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
Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.
John Stossel
The people who have the biggest passion for restricting other people's behavior are the very people we should worry about most. Unfortunately, they keep running for office.
John Stossel
As a free person, I ought to be allowed if I'm dying to take something.
John Stossel
I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government.
