These men Knew what they meant,

and meant what they said.
-Treasured Map "TEA Party" 2009-

"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!"


"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."


"Man is not free unless government is limited."


"One way to make sure crime doesn't pay would be to let the government run it."


"Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets."


"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."


"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."


"Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them."


"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."

-Ronald Reagan, former President 1981-1989
