If politicians stopped meddling with things they don't understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates.

What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race?

― Thomas Sowell

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

― Thomas Sowell

A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.

This is what I support low regulation and high accountability for the private sector.

If you make people criminally liable for their actions, 9/10 times they make the right decision.

Case in point: the entirety of 2020. Fauci parading around on TV just telling lies, no punishment even if it costs lives. Politicians shutting down people's businesses, while they still get paid. Fauci, media, and other Democrats working together to stop any usage of HCQ or any other treatment for Wufan flu, never mind how many helpless old folks they kill in the process. No punishment, no accountability.
