“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things
to be bought and sold are legislators.” Odds and Ends: William Bennett’s Gambling, Living Wage Laws, and the Louisville Orchestra By Theresa Fritz Camoriano 1. Bill Bennett - It is a shame that people are finding such pleasure in attacking Bill Bennett. Bennett has tried to do what he thought would benefit others, by publishing his “Book of Virtues”, a compilation of stories intended to inspire children to be virtuous. The fact that Mr. Bennett now appears to have a gambling problem does not change the value of his work.

"Despite unprecedented sums of money, the nation's education problems since 1983 remain unsolved. Why one of the world's most rabidly free-market nations refuses to give parents the freedom to choose their preferred education options is a testament to the stranglehold at the hands of the teachers' and other unions. There's probably not much wrong with public education that cannot be solved with a large dose of competition." - Washington Times editorial, 4/26/03
“Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or
potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it
can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own
demands for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the
bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is
the businessmen.”
