“The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people”
Avram Noam Chomsky
“Normal fear protects us; abnormal fear paralyses us. Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives. Our problem is not to be rid of fear but, rather to harness and master it.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“Bad schools, crime, drugs, high taxes, the social security mess, racism, the health care ? crisis? unemployment, welfare state dependency, illegitimacy, the gap between rich and poor. What do these issues have in common? Politicians, the media, and our so-called "leaders" lie to us about them. They lie about the cause. They lie about the effect. They lie about the solutions.”
Larry Elder
“The American people are much more concerned about taxes, welfare, the deficit, crime, education, drugs, and way down somewhere low is that matter of nuclear weapon danger. So our task now is to convince the American people that it's more dangerous now than it was during the Cold War, and that's a fact.”
Alan Cranston
“Bob, the taxpayers thank you, ... A lot of families heretofore on welfare, as fathers and mothers with their children, thank you for your great leadership.”
George Allen
“We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added”
Ronald Reagan
“The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black family- which survived slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions- began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed programs to "help."”
