More quotes by John Stossel
Living with the liberals, you get to hear their arguments, fight with them all the time. Keeps me alert.
John Stossel
Wealthier is healthier.
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
People acting in their own self-interest is the fuel for all the discovery, innovation, and prosperity that powers the world.
John Stossel
When workers can get and equal return for less effort, workers make less effort
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
Government has no money of its own. All it does is take resources from one group and given them to another.

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.

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
I was a closet stutterer.
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.

Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.
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
You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.
John Stossel
As a free person, I ought to be allowed if I'm dying to take something.
John Stossel
All our rights are gradually eroded as government gets bigger.
John Stossel
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
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.
John Stossel
Freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor.
