Well Said: I'm from the government ...

From my quote journal.
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.

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

I get worried when people in a democracy think their government is evil. I don't think it is all evil. The Social Security lady is very kind to my blind, wheelchair-using son as she updates his file, and makes sure he will keep getting the help he needs. I renewed my passport the other day, and the gentleman got me through in no time. Our government looks a lot better to me than the North Korean government. Katy
