There is a higher law than the law of government. That's the law of conscience.

Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government that money must first be taken from somebody else.

Most Americans aren't the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government they assume that its might makes it right.

Every country has the government it deserves.

Since taking office President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'

That's the definition of 'success' for the modern Democrat Party. As many people dependent on government as possible is the objective.

The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago government had no claim to our income. Only sales excise and tariff taxes were allowed.

I don't believe we need the government's help as much as some think we do. That belief sets me apart from the Democrats since their way of dealing with everything is to tax and spend.

Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.

As Americans we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision their hard work and their personal responsibility.

People forget... that we structured it so that the government or the people would be repaid with a really good rate of return. And as it turns out that aspect of TARP that's what happened.

The control of information is something the elite always does particularly in a despotic form of government. Information knowledge is power. If you can control information you can control people.

We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.

We should reject big government and look inside ourselves for all the things that built this country into what it was.

Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism.

Honesty integrity and accountability the values which should be the hallmark of this government have instead been thrown under the bus by an arrogant majority casualties in a misguided campaign to shield from accountability those who abuse this House.

I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.

Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub.

Everything government touches turns to crap.

Indiscriminate firing by police on people is absolute barbarism. Instead of solving their problems the government is trying to suppress the people by force.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence the morality the justice and the interest of the people themselves.

The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests and when not efficiently checked it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.

Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 + 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers if 'facts' are fictional how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions?

So Indian policy has become institutionalized and the result has been that American people have become more dependent on government and that the American people have become more dependent on corporations.
