Government = coercive benevolence

George Washington said "Government is a dangerous servant, and a terrible master".  So lets have them run our healthcare?
 
"In questions of power, let no more be heard in confidence of man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."--Thomas Jefferson
 
Freedom is indivisible; If you kill it in one place, it will die in another.  If you kill economic or religious freedom, political freedom will die.  "The preservation of freedom is a matter of the restriction of government, not the extension of it."--Woodrow Wilson
 
Government makes benevolence coercive, legalized plunder.--Bastiat 
 
Alexis de Toqueville:  "America will last until the public discovers that it can vote for itself, largesse out of the public treasury."  Welfare recipients do this as they are bussed around every election cycle.
