"I
want the people of America to be able to work less for the Government
and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own
industry. This is the chief meaning of freedom." - Calvin Coolidge
(Address accepting the presidential nomination, Aug. 14, 1924)
"To
lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the
citizen and with the other to bestow upon favored individuals, to aid
private enterprises and build up private fortunes is none the less a
robbery because it is done under forms of law and is called
taxation." -
Supreme Court; Savings and Loan Assc. v. Topeka, 20 Wall. 655 (1875).
"If the government announced a program of forced labor and
conscripted its citizens to work for a third of the year without
compensation, there would be a revolt. But that is, in effect, exactly
what the government has done." - Andrew Tobias (New York Times, Jan
30, 1987
