Suppose you were an idiot.

And suppose you were a member of Congress....

But then I repeat myself.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity

is like a man standing in a bucket and

trying to lift himself up by the handle.


-Winston Churchill






Giving money and power to the government is like

giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.


-P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian





No man's life, liberty, or property is safe

while the legislature is in session.


-Mark Twain (1866 )





Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.


-Unknown





The government is like a baby's alimentary canal:

a happy appetite at one end and

no responsibility at the other.


-Ronald Reagan





and the best one yet.......


I don't make jokes...

I just watch the government and report the facts.


-Will Rogers
