handouts

“I have said it many times and I will say it again, ‘Governments consume wealth — they do not create it.’ Any politician who claims that his government is acting in the national interest is either a fool or a knave, a rogue or an idiot. Governments only act for the benefit of those in government and not for the benefit of the people they govern nor for the nation as a whole. Therefore, the less we are governed, the better off the nation will be. Those in government like to perpetuate the myth that the interests of the government and the interests of the nation are synonymous: whereas in fact, the government and the people’s interest are poles apart.”
