Walter Williams: "Wh**ever Congress wishes to give, it has to first take other people's money. Thus, at the root of the welfare state is the immorality of intimidation, threats and coercion backed up with the threat of violence by the agents of the U.S. Congress. In order for Congress to do what some Americans deem as good, it must first do evil. It must do that which if done privately would mean a jail sentence; namely, take the property of one American to give to another." We need to keep the size of the federal government under control because it just continues to feed on the citizens.
Robert A. Heinlein put it another way. "Put not thy faith in Princes. Princes do not work and therefor must steal for a living."
