John Stossel Quotes

Good government has to mean less government Picture Quote #1

Give me a break Picture Quote #1

I was a closet stutterer Picture Quote #1

A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that’s good for America. Nobody’s rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don’t go away, the creative people don’t go away. They get employed more productively by others Picture Quote #1

When we were scared about 9/11, we federalized the airport security, we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination Picture Quote #1

What private property does is connect effort to reward, creating an incentive for people to produce for more. Then, if there’s a free market, people will trade their surpluses to others for the things they lack. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the community richer Picture Quote #1

The welfare state has done to Black Americans what slavery (and Jim Crow and racism) could not have done. . .break up the black family. Today, just slightly over 30 percent of black kids live in two-parent families. Historically, from the 1870s on. . . 75-90 percent of black kids lived in two-parent families Picture Quote #1

To finance ‘entitlement’ programs, the government threatens force against the taxpayers who provide the money. Why are people who favor compulsion called humanitarians, while those who favor freedom are stigmatized as greedy? Picture Quote #1

Asking someone in the media about liberal bias is like asking a fish about water. ‘Huh, what are you talking about? Where is it?’ Picture Quote #1

What happened under communism - and increasingly, is happening in America, as Joseph Sobran put it: ‘Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money. ‘Greed’ means wanting to keep your own. ‘Compassion’ is when a politician arranges the transfer.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m an American. I’m for prosperity. I’ve discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government Picture Quote #1

But nothing is better than the market, where the customer and the business deal directly with each other, because if you rip people off, word gets out. That business eventually loses its customers, and the good ones that serve people well get the business. You get government in there, and it’s just more money for the lawyers who write the bills Picture Quote #1

Patrick Henry did not say, ‘Give me absolutely safety or give me death.’ America is supposed to be about freedom Picture Quote #1

I saw how the regulation I called for made things worse, didn’t help consumers and simple competition was better. And I started praising business and occasionally criticizing regulation Picture Quote #1

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable Picture Quote #1

We have all kinds of government compensation systems that are much more efficient than the lawyers Picture Quote #1

Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it Picture Quote #1

‘Live and let life’ used to be a noble approach to life. Now you’re considered compassionate if you demand that government impose your preferences on others Picture Quote #1

A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system Picture Quote #1

Liberalism had come to mean spending more on everything-speech police, failed poverty programs that reward dependence, a bigger nanny state telling us we cannot eat fatty foods, workplace roles that stifle opportunity, and absurd environmental regulations Picture Quote #1

I’ve built my career on unpaid interns, and the interns told me it was great - I learned more from you than I did in college Picture Quote #1

A system that rewards politicians skilled at campaigning - which is the art of creating an illusion - and that puts hundreds of billions of coerced taxpayer dollars at the disposal of the winners will tend to attract men and women with a comparative advantage in manipulation Picture Quote #1

You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don’t Picture Quote #1

Give me a break - They say taxes are inevitable, like death. At least death doesn’t come every year Picture Quote #1

Fraud will always exist. Enforcement of anti-fraud laws is a useful deterrent, but in the end there’s no substitute for investor vigilance. Government regulations provide a false sense of security - and that’s worth less than no sense of security at all Picture Quote #1

Freedom works, and government, when it grows beyond the barest minimum, keeps people poor Picture Quote #1

If government were less important in our lives, politicians would have fewer goodies to trade. In return, we’d have more money and more freedom Picture Quote #1

The political class can’t imagine a decentralized world where good things happen...without them. But in the real world, that’s exactly how good things happen, and how jobs are created. When government sets simple rules that everyone understands and then gets out of the way, free people create jobs Picture Quote #1

Government has no money of its own. All it does is take resources from one group and given them to another Picture Quote #1
