I’m looking for some libertarian one-liners/soundbites that I can use in discussions with socialists and supporters of big government. Suggestions?
Milton Friedman is not my hero by any means, but this is a powerful response he had to Phil Donahue. The actual audio here.
“Tell me is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? What is greed? Of course none of us are greedy; its only the other fellow who’s greedy.”
Bastiat paraphrase:
A great nation doesn’t need farms, it needs food. A great nation doesn’t need factories it needs goods.
A good saying when talking about free trade and how some businesses are destroyed by others.
