The following are from his book, entitled "What Ever Happened to the American Dream."
"With so many Americans eating at the public trough now, it will require sacrifice on the part of everyone to salvage our economy."
"The struggle today seems to be between the forces of bigger government and those of private industry. As the size of government expands and reaches into every nook and cranny of our society, it crowds out those who need flexibility and freedom in order to suceed in business. "
"The black family unit that had survived 150 years of slavery was decimated in less than 30 years by welfare payments that stopped if the family structure remained intact."
"In the fifties, even the most liberal economist agreed that national welfare would wreck the economy."
"The dream that the founders [of our country] gave us was not one of perverted materialism . . . It was an idea: that God had created all men to be equal in opportunity, so that each could elect to work hard and prosper or lay around and suffer hunger."
"Unless . . . we force the government out of micro-managing the private business sector, the economy simply cannot grow sufficiently to pay off the debt."
"The federal government has evolved, by way of individual apathy, into being the great provider, protector, and general all-round decision-maker for the country."
"The danger of the existing refrigerants was dramatically demonstrated in 1929, when more than 100 people died in a Cleveland hospital from a leak in the hospital's refrigeration system. . . . I doubt that most of us would rest well at night knowing that the ozone layer was safe but a leaky refrigerator could kill us in our sleep."
"It is amazing to me that we allow so many people with so little proven character to set our national policy on issues that will ultimately be paid for by the rest of us."
"But many other vaccines and related drugs are simply never marketed in the U.S. because the potential for litigation is too great and the profits too slim to absorb the costs."
"We should never have allowed the federal government to establish the degree of control it has over the economy; the more the bureaucrats meddle, the worse the problems get."
"Never in the history of economics has a nation as wealthy and as influential as ours attempted to live so far beyond its means, while simultaneously doing everything possible to strangle the economy."
"I certainly would not do any planning based on estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB); neither has been within a trillion dollars of actual income and expenses for any five year period."
"On June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court decided to overthrow nearly 200 years of constitutional history and ban all reference to God in classrooms throughout the United States."
