In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame,  two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.<br \/>\n\tJohn  Adams<\/p>\n<p>\t2.

And suppose you were a member of  Congress.  But then I repeat myself.<br \/>\n\tMark Twain<\/p>\n<p>\t4. I contend  that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing  in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.<br \/>\n\tWinston  Churchill<\/p>\n<p>\t5. A  government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of  Paul.<br \/>\n\tGeorge  Bernard Shaw<\/p>\n<p>\t6.

Government&#8217;s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If  it moves, tax it.  If it keeps moving, regulate it.   And if it stops moving, subsidize it.<br \/>\n\tRonald Reagan (1986)<\/p>\n<p>\t12. I don&#8217;t make  jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.<br \/>\n\tWill  Rogers<\/p>\n<p>\t13. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until  you see what it costs when it&#8217;s free!<br \/>\n\tP.J.  O&#8217;Rourke<\/p>\n<p>\t14. In general, the art of government consists of  taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the  other.<br \/>\n\tVoltaire (1764)<\/p>\n<p>\t15. Just because you do not take  an interest in politics doesn&#8217;t mean politics won&#8217;t take an interest in  you!<br \/>\n\tPericles (430 B.C.)<\/p>\n<p>\t16. No man&#8217;s life, liberty, or  property is safe while the legislature is in session.<br \/>\n\tMark Twain  (1866)<\/p>\n<p>\t17.
