Mark Steyn Quote

Gerald Ford used to say when trying to ingratiate himself with conservative audiences, A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have. And that’s true. But there’s an intermediate stage: a government big enough to give you everything you want isn’t big enough to get you to give any of it back.
