“The natural state of our economy is prosperity. Freedom guaranteesthat. The only force capable of undermining it isgovernment.”

“There are few problems in the world that economic prosperitycannot help solve. Yet the engines of that prosperity are under fierceattack. The forces that seek power over others have gained the upperhand against those that seek freedom. By harming wealth creation,they cause even more strain on society. Historically, this is nothingnew. State domination over its subjects has roots that connect statism,totalitarianism, communism, and socialism to more modern-day variantsof liberalism and progressivism. It is a constant fight and we mustwin.”

“The only thing that is or should be equal in the creation of wealthis the opportunity to participate. Everything else is naturally and rightfullydependent on personal and often exclusively inherent advantagesand disadvantages. The imagined outcomes and side benefits areimpossible to guarantee. The shared human experience should havetaught us, by any objective standard, that making a mirage your focuswill undermine your chances of finding gold.”

“We were born a nation of entrepreneurs. That is why so manypeople came to this country from so many different nations and culturesaround the globe. The entrepreneur sees the opportunity, takesaction, and successfully learns from the experience. They go on tocreate wealth. They become part of that demographic that is called“the rich.” They, not the government, drive the economy and createjobs. Only a mind with an envious, greedy perspective would considerpunitively taxing the rich as a viable solution to our fiscal miasma.This is a solution springing from the fount of ignorance and deemedwise only by fools.”

“If the world economy is going to revive, I believe commoditiesare going to lead it back up. If the world economy is not going torevive, commodities are still the place to be—especially with governmentsprinting so much money. Look at the 1970s. The worldeconomy was in the tank, but commodities did very well.”

“Central planning inevitably leads to economic chaos and failure.Friedrich Hayek called the delusion that a single person or a groupof government planners could possibly possess the knowledge to planan entire economy a “fatal conceit.” The overwhelming historicalevidence is that the more freedom a nation has, the more economicopportunities will exist and the more dynamic that nation’s economywill be. Likewise, the more regulations, controls, taxes, governmentrunindustries, protectionism, and other forms of interventionism thatexists, the poorer the country will become.”

“I believe the LIE that prosecuting bank fraud will destabilize the U.S economy is what is really destroying it.”
