“You can't be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for wealth creation”

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”

“A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away”

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.”

“...small government gives you big freedoms--and Big Government leaves you with very little freedom. The opposite of Big Government is not small government, but Big Liberty. The bailout and the stimulus and the budget and the trillion-dollar deficits are not merely massive transfers from the most dynamic and productive sector to the least dynamic and productive. When governments annex a huge chunk of the economy, they also annex a huge chunk of individual liberty. You fundamentally change the relationship between the citizen and the state into something closer to that of junkie and pusher--and you make it very difficult ever to change back.”

“It's that big guy who's the government.”
