In The Words Of...

This week in light of the social programs we are going to have in this country, I present...Ronaldus Magnus:

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

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.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.

In Israel, free men and women are every day demonstrating the power of courage and faith. Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, pundits claimed the new country could never survive. Today, no one questions that. Israel is a land of stability and democracy in a region of tryanny and unrest.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.

The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.
