"Our morbidly obese federal government needs not just behavior modification but bariatric surgery."
"We believe it wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as its owner would prefer."
"Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some."
