– “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.” – George Bernard Shaw.

– “Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.” – James Bovard.

– “I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.” – Will Rogers.
