"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) [in the US Constitution] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority [democratic or otherwise] has a right to deprive them of." - Albert Gallatin

"The main issue in present-day political struggles is whether society should be organized on the basis of private ownership of the means of production (capitalism, the market system) or on the basis of public control of the means of production (socialism, communism, planned economy). Capitalism means free enterprise, sovereignty of the consumers in economic matters, and sovereignty of the voters in political matters. Socialism means full government control of every sphere of the individual's life and the unrestricted supremacy of the government in its capacity as central board of production management. There is no compromise possible between these two systems. Contrary to popular fallacy there is no middle way, no third system possible as a pattern of a permanent social order. The citizens must choose between capitalism and socialism or, as many Americans say, between the American and the Russian way of life." - Ludwig von Mises
Famous economist. From his book, 'Bureaucracy', 1944.

"RESOLVED: That the principle and construction contended for by sundry of the state legislatures, that the general government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it, stop nothing short of despotism; since the discretion of those who administer the government, and not the constitution, would be the measure of their powers: That the several states who formed that instrument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction; and that a nullification, by those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done under colour of that instrument, is the rightful remedy." - Thomas Jefferson

"Knowledge of our system of government [as defined by The Bill of Rights and the US Constitution to support a person's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness] is not handed down through the gene pool. ... But we have neglected [political] civic education for the past several decades, and the results are predictably dismal [so people do not fully understand their rights or the system of government and therefore their use of their freedom, including their right to vote, is less effective than it might otherwise have been].

"Why is law and order so important? Strong regulation against fraud, etc and then enforcement as well as punishment is important or else bad behavior is not punished and still achieves the rewards, eventually out-competing good behaviour and therefore the incentives are skewed and bad behaviour increases, as good behaving people and companies go elsewhere, die out or change to also do the bad behaviour.
The result was a sort of 'Gresham's Law', let's call it Gresham's Dynamic, in which the bad behaving people force out the good. For example, steroid users in sport or even irresponsible credit ratings agencies...like what happened with sub-prime loans from 2003-7 which were rated AAA for inclusion in securitised mortgages when not worth that and so they eventually blew-up in 2007 to cause the Great Financial Crisis, second only to the Great Depression in world-wide financial damage. The credit rating agency, Moody's rationalised their involvement in 2007 by saying, '[I]t was a slippery slope. What happened in '04 and '05 with respect to subordinated tranches [of sub-prime debt for mortgage securitisations] is ... our competition, Fitch and S&P, went nuts. Everything was investment grade. We lost 50% of our coverage [business share]...[and therefore to stay in business they had to do it too, so as Gresham's dynamic states bad pushes out good, there's a race to the bottom - to be the least ethical and responsible].' " - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

"[Do politicians lie? Yes, when they believe it is necessary to do so, even though it negates informed consent and creates false impressions which others may act on to their detriment. Therefore it is important to realise that politicians do lie and take that into consideration when making decisions.... In a SPIEGEL interview, Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg and president of the Euro Group, argues that Athens isn't bankrupt and that it is still possible for Greece to emerge from the crisis. He also states that the "nervousness" of financial markets makes it difficult to adequately and correctly inform the public.]
Juncker: Without a doubt. When I do not confirm a course of events even though I ought to, I know exactly why I am doing so. In light of the nervousness of the financial markets, it is difficult for us to keep the public adequately and correctly informed all the time. This is regrettable, but unfortunately it's also unavoidable.
SPIEGEL: When secret meetings are held and the truth isn't always being told, people gain the impression that there must be something wrong with this Europe.
Juncker: People understand perfectly well that politicians have to discuss sensitive issues behind closed doors. I had 10 seconds to decide how to react to the report in SPIEGEL ONLINE. Let us say, hypothetically, that I had said: 'Okay, we are having a meeting, but I'm not going to tell you what we intend to talk about.' That would have triggered a tsunami in the financial markets. Instead, I chose to produce a small wave of outrage over a white lie.
" - Jean-Claude Juncker

"The right way is the greatest gratifier of human wishes every come upon — when allowed to operate. It is as morally sound as the Golden Rule. It is the way of willing exchange, of common consent, of self-responsibility, of open opportunity. It respects the right of each to the product of his own labor. It limits the police force to keeping the peace. It is the way of the free market, private property, limited government. On its banner is emblazoned Individual Liberty." - Leonard E. Read

"Power may justly be compared to a great river. While kept within its due bounds it is both beautiful and useful. But when it overflows its banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemmed; it bears down all before it, and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes. If, then, this is the nature of power, let us at least do our duty, and like wise men who value freedom use our utmost care to support liberty, the only bulwark against lawless power...." - Andrew Hamilton

"The usual terminology of political language is stupid. What is 'left' and what is 'right'? Why should Hitler be 'right' and Stalin, his temporary friend, be 'left'? Who is 'reactionary' and who is 'progressive'? Reaction against an unwise policy is not to be condemned. And progress towards chaos is not to be commended. Nothing should find acceptance just because it is new, radical, and fashionable. 'Orthodoxy' is not an evil if the doctrine on which the 'orthodox' stand is sound. Who is anti-labor, those who want to lower labor to the Russian level, or those who want for labor the capitalistic standard of the United States? Who is 'nationalist,' those who want to bring their nation under the heel of the Nazis, or those who want to preserve its independence?" - Ludwig von Mises

"The only certain fact about Russian affairs under the Soviet regime with regard to which all people agree is: that the standard of living of the Russian masses is much lower than that of the masses in the country which is universally considered as the paragon of capitalism, the United States of America. If we were to regard the Soviet regime as an experiment, we would have to say that the experiment has clearly demonstrated the superiority of capitalism and the inferiority of socialism [communism, statism. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 Robert Heilbroner, a lifelong advocate of socialism, said that 'It turns out, of course, that Mises was right' about the impossibility of socialism. 'Capitalism has been as unmistakable a success as socialism has been a failure. Here is the part that's hard to swallow. It has been the Friedmans, Hayeks, and von Miseses who have maintained that capitalism would flourish and that socialism would develop incurable ailments.]" - Ludwig von Mises
