A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away

And it can be even worse!
written by Per Kurowski, May 21, 2008
And this statement of Barry Goldwater was written in a country where the government still mostly depends on its citizens for its income. Can you imagine how unbearably true it must be in an oil-cursed nation like Venezuela, where the government is independently wealthy?

Pray that you never get cursed that way!
