“It’s wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that compassion.”
Harry Browne
“The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, ‘See if it weren’t for the government, you wouldn’t be able to walk.”
Harry Browne
“Government programs didn’t arise because the people demanded them or because the free market was unable to provide needed services. They arose because the politicians found them to be a convenient way to buy votes with other people’s money, a convenient way to enlarge their own power, a convenient way to reward their political cronies, and a convenient way to keep people dependent on government.”
Harry Browne
“The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it.”
Harry Browne
The last decent, qualified and libertarian presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party.
I must find out more about Harry Brown.
He wrote many books, including “The Great Libertarian Offer” and “Why Government Doesn’t Work” – I am proud to have an autographed copy of both. He was a wonderful, personable, principled, and well-spoken man.
