The wind just hindered us today, to be honest. As dry as it is, it's not unusual at all.

Everything we know about human nature and about government tells us that individuals using their own money will achieve far more good for themselves and far more for others than politicians spending money they didn't have to work to earn.

Government cripples you, then hands you a crutch and says, 'See, if it wasn't for us, you couldn't walk.'

government errors people
The income tax is the biggest single intrusion suffered by the American people.
