"Government'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."
Now, Mises.org has this really funny quote generator in its articles and I found this one, labelled 'Tom Woods'. Ok, Tom Woods would probably not object to crediting himself with such a statement, but a quick googling tells me the origin of this quote actually was Ronald Reagan. Look at that. Gotta read up on Reagan at some point, I suppose.
Then, on the hunt for nice quotes, I stumbled upon another beauty! Think about that, when the UK deficit is some £108 billion.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
"Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it."
