Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges.
Argentinian President Javier Milei, at the recent World Economic Forum at Davos, as quoted by Tom Woods on X, January 17, 2024.
I would like to leave a message for all businesspeople here and for those who are not here in person but are following from around the world. Do not be intimidated, either by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state. Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges.
You are social benefactors. You are heroes. You’re the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we’ve ever seen. Let no one tell you that your ambition is immoral. If you make money, it’s because you offer a better product at a better price, thereby contributing to general well-being.
Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself.
Argentinian President Javier Milei, at the recent World Economic Forum at Davos, as quoted by Tom Woods on X, January 17, 2024.
In adopting a republican form of government, I not only took it as a man does his wife, for better or for worse, but what a few men do with their wives, I took it knowing all of its bad qualities. Neither ingratitude, therefore, nor slander can disappoint expectation nor excite surprise. If, in arduous circumstances, the voice of my country should call for my services, and I have the well founded belief, that they can be useful, they shall certainly be rendered; but I hope that no such circumstances will arise and in the mean time, ‘pleas’d let me trifle away.
Gouverneur Morris to John Dickinson (May 23, 1803).
When you become accustomed to preferential treatment, equal treatment feels like oppression.
Jason Whitlock on the Megyn Kelly Show (January 12, 2024).
I believe the preservation of our civil liberties to be the most fundamental and important of all our governmental problems, because it always has been with us and always will be with us and if we ever permit those liberties to be destroyed, there will be nothing left in our system worthy of preservation.
Earl Warren, as quoted in Lawyers Guild Review, Vol. 13 – 14 (1953), p. 47.
When you say “the government” … there is no such thing any more. There’s no government; we’re in a state of chaos.
