“Politicians never accuse you of ‘greed’ for wanting other people’s money—only for wanting to keep your own money.”

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

And when politicians give away your money, liberals consider them to be so caring and altruistic.
