Bureaucrats Quotes

The War on Drugs employs millions - politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military - that probably couldn’t find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners Picture Quote #1

When your money is taken by a thief, you get nothing in return. When your money is taken through taxes to support needless bureaucrats, precisely the same situation exists. We are lucky, indeed, if the needless bureaucrats are mere easy-going loafers. They are more likely today to be energetic reformers busily discouraging and disrupting production Picture Quote #1

Bureaucrats live on the fat of the land, while the rest of us stay skinny laboring to pay their salaries Picture Quote #1

I guess it’s like trying to put through the flat tax, which is probably my favorite one of all.... if we did pass it, all of a sudden, what do you have? You have the whole tax system run by a little old lady on a home computer, doing the work of all these thousands of bureaucrats and accountants. Passing that would be amazing, wouldn’t it? Picture Quote #1

Politicians, bureaucrats, editors, new commentators, ‘economists’ teachers,’ and other word artists who denounce private enterprise and praise socialism are their own worst enemies...these attackers are unwittingly destroying the sources of their own livelihood. They kill the geese that lay the golden eggs - and don’t know it! Picture Quote #1

Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions Picture Quote #1

Leaders is the new organisation do not lack motivational tools, but the tools are different from those of traditional corporate bureaucrats. The new rewards are based not on status but on contribution, and they consist not of regular promotion and automatic pay rises, but of excitement about the mission and a share of the glory of success Picture Quote #1

The American businessmen, as a class, have demonstrated the greatest productive genius and the most spectacular achievements ever recorded in the economic history of mankind. What reward did they receive from our culture and its intellectuals? The position of a hated, persecuted minority. The position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats Picture Quote #1

I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike - and I don't think there really is a distinction between the two - are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats Picture Quote #1

How can faceless bureaucrats in an intelligence agency deny brave soldiers a chance to tell the truth? Picture Quote #1

Journalists are supposed to be skeptical, that’s what keeps them digging rather than simply accepting the official line, whether it comes from government or corporate bureaucrats Picture Quote #1

The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke Picture Quote #1

Bureaucracies are inherently antidemocratic. Bureaucrats derive their power from their position in the structure, not from their relations with the people they are supposed to serve. The people are not masters of the bureaucracy, but its clients Picture Quote #1

I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends Picture Quote #1

We’ll always have bureaucracies, but bureaucracies led by bureaucrats might be too much of a bad thing Picture Quote #1

Forecasting by bureaucrats tends to be used for anxiety relief rather than for adequate policy making Picture Quote #1

Government... can’t be trusted to control its own bureaucrats or collect taxes equitably or fill a pothole, much less decide which of its citizens to kill Picture Quote #1

To err is human, but to really screw things up requires a design committee of bureaucrats Picture Quote #1

There is no reason to believe that bureaucrats and politicians, no matter how well meaning, are better at solving problems than the people on the spot, who have the strongest incentive to get the solution right Picture Quote #1

It’s important to realize that whenever you give power to politicians or bureaucrats, it will be used for what they want, not for what you want Picture Quote #1

You give bureaucrats power over others, and when the others are poor and helpless, nothing matches government. More than any single exploitive tyrannical force, the possibility of what government can do is absolutely terrifying Picture Quote #1

Bureaucrats are the only people in the world who can say absolutely nothing and mean it Picture Quote #1

If entrepreneurs were running schools, instead of bureaucrats, schools would be teaching a lot more of the skills and mindsets found in this book. Since they’re not, this book is a necessary antidote to a traditional college education Picture Quote #1

We still have systems we don’t need, we have infrastructure we don’t need. Why do you have over 900,000 bureaucrats working in one way or another in all these systems Picture Quote #1

Seen from the point of view of the particular group interests of the bureaucrats, every measure that makes the government’s payroll swell is progress Picture Quote #1

Real education is about genuine understanding and the ability to figure things out on your own; not about making sure every 7th grader has memorized all the facts some bureaucrats have put in the 7th grade curriculum Picture Quote #1
