[[Pat Buchanan]] described Williams's views:

*"We often hear the claim that our nation is a [[democracy]]," writes columnist Dr. Walter Williams. But, "That wasn't the vision of the [[Founding Fathers|founders]]. They saw democracy as another form of [[tyranny]]. … The founders intended, and laid out the ground rules for, our nation to be a [[republic]]. … The word democracy appears nowhere in the [[Declaration of Independence]] or the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]]."

*"Sometimes the advocates of [[socialized medicine]] claim that [[health care]] is too important to be left to the market. That's why some politicians are calling for us to adopt health care systems such as those in [[Canada]], the [[United Kingdom]] and other [[Europe]]an nations. But the suggestion that we'd be better served with more [[big government|government control]] doesn't even pass a simple smell test." <ref>[http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/williams072507.php3 ''Health Care: Government vs. Private'']</ref>

*"[[Charity]] is reaching into one's own pockets to assist his fellow man in need.  Reaching into someone else's pocket to assist one's fellow man hardly qualifies as charity. When done privately, we deem it theft, and the individual risks jail  time." <ref>[http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/articles/05/give.html ''Not Yours to Give'']</ref>

*"There's such a broad ignorance or contempt for constitutional principles among  the [[American]] people that any [[politician]] who bore truth faith and allegiance to the Constitution would commit political suicide."<ref>[http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/williams092105.asp ''Is it Permissible?'']</ref>

*"Three-fifths to two-thirds of the [[deficit spending|federal budget]] consists of taking property from one American and giving it to another. Were a private person to do the same  thing, we'd call it theft. When government does it, we euphemistically call it [[income redistribution]], but that's exactly what thieves do — redistribute income.  Income redistribution not only betrays the founders' vision, it's a [[sin]] in the eyes of [[God]]. I'm guessing that when God gave [[Moses]] the [[Ten Commandments|Eighth Commandment]], 'Thou  shalt not steal,' I'm sure he didn't mean 'thou shalt not steal unless there was  a majority vote in Congress.'"<ref>[http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/williams020806.asp ''Bogus Rights'']</ref>
