| | *"A panhandler is far more moral than corporate welfare queens....The panhandler doesn't enlist anyone to force you to give him money. He's coming up to you and saying, "Will you help me out?" The farmers, when they want subsidies, they're not asking for a voluntary transaction. They go to a congressman and say, "Could you take his money and give it to us?" That's immoral."<ref>http://www.famous-quote.net/walter-williams-quotes.shtml</ref> | | *"A panhandler is far more moral than corporate welfare queens....The panhandler doesn't enlist anyone to force you to give him money.

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

| | + | *"Three-fifths to two-thirds of the 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 G-d. I'm guessing that when G-d gave Moses the 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> |
