Churchill Knew – Why Doesn’t Our Congress?

“We 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

The Constitution: A Restraining Document

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people,
it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government
– lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”

-Patrick Henry

  

“How a politician stands on the Second Amendment 
tells you how he or she views you as an individual; 
as a trustworthy and productive citizen, 
or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, 
controlled, supervised, and taken care of.”

- Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp

 

“Our democracy will cease to exist 
when you take away from those who are willing to work 
and give to those who would not.”

- Thomas Jefferson

 

 

What Are We Headed For?

“A democracy is always temporary in nature;
it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover
that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates
who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse
due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship”

- Alexander Tytler 1787
