In any government bureaucracy, they are not working for you but for the mythical blob called the 'public sector,' which is really nothing but a stash of stolen cash divided among the robber class.

More quotes by Llewellyn Rockwell
The state is a vast enterprise for declaring all sorts of things legal for itself that would be illegal for us.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Without market prices for capital goods, accounting is not possible. You don't know if you are making money or losing money, saving resources or wasting them, doing the right thing or not doing the right thing.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Socialized medicine must fail for the same reasons all socialism must fail: it offers no system for rationally allocating resources, and instead promotes the overutilization of all resources, ending in bankruptcy.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Money out of nothing is money that is eventually worth nothing.
Llewellyn Rockwell
The state is and has been in history a source of disorder and chaos, and this problem gets worse the more the state grows.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Welcome to the age of paper money, where governments and central banks can manufacture as much money as they want without limit. Gold was the last limit. Its banishment as a standard unleashed the inflation monster and leviathan itself, which has swelled beyond comprehension.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Among the most urgent political priorities of our age is the separation of economy and state.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Libertarianism is a theory of politics that is so compelling that once you have absorbed it, it becomes the lens through which you end up understanding all economic and political events.
Llewellyn Rockwell
The danger to a free society is not the guns owned by the citizens but an unconstrained government.... An armed society is a self-governing society, just as a disarmed people are vulnerable to arbitrary power of every kind.
Llewellyn Rockwell
If the people are led to believe that scarce resources are best channeled in a direction that producers and consumers would not choose on their own, the result must necessarily be central planning.
Llewellyn Rockwell
It's a hard truth for Americans to face, that neither team in Washington is going to guard what we love the most. That is something we are going to have to face. Liberty is for the citizens to guard themselves.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Profit is a signal that valuable services are being rendered to people on a voluntary basis.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Always and everywhere, the only serious political issue is what the state should and should not do. All the rest distracts.
Llewellyn Rockwell
We like to imagine that in history, truth will prevail through sheer persuasive power. Sadly, this is not the case. Truth needs champions.
Llewellyn Rockwell
What we need is a new consciousness concerning the idea of human liberty.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Repeal the entire Banking Act of 1933, and Austrian School economists will cheer, especially if the current system were replaced by a 100%-reserve competitive banking with no central bank. That banking reform would give us a sound money system, meaning no more business cycle, bailouts, or inflation.
Llewellyn Rockwell
Above all, ascribe no decent motives to the federal government. Always and everywhere, it is the enemy of truth.
Llewellyn Rockwell
What makes for the good society is a sound economy. Without it, all the rest falls apart.
Llewellyn Rockwell
To centralize power in the name of freedom is akin to putting a crime syndicate in charge of rooting out corruption. It is the normal state of politics that the more centralized it is, the more damage it does. Fast-track authority [for government-to-government trade agreements] centralizes power and is therefore part of the problem.
Llewellyn Rockwell
There is nothing the state can do, and which society needs done, that cannot be done far better by the market.
