“If the US government spends 40 percent of the nation's income, as it does through either borrowing or taxes, that income is not available for people to spend. The deficit is an indirect method of taxation. Of course, politicians prefer to borrow instead of tax because then someone down the road has to deal with the consequences.” PeopleIfsDoeGovernmentCoursesNationsDealsPoliticianTaxesPercentConsequenceMethodAvailableIncomeTaxationDeficitDown The RoadBorrowingIndirect Author:Milton Friedman

“Reason, if consulted with, would advise, that their children's time should be spent in acquiring what might be useful to them when they come to be men, rather than to have their heads stuff'd with a deal of trash, a great part whereof they usually never do ('tis certain they never need to) think on again as long as they live: and so much of it as does stick by them they are only the worse for.” IfsThinkingMenNeedsShouldChildrenLongDoeReasonMightCertainStuffDealsSticksTrashAdviseBe A Man Book:Locke, Berkely and Hume Source: Locke, Berkely and Hume
“If you work in the city long enough, it begins to deal with you on a personal level. Streets reveal their moods. Sometimes the signal light loves you. Sometimes they fight you. When you're hunting for a new building, you hope the city is on your side. You have to use a little bit of thinking--you might call it the process of elimination--and you need a little bit of instinct, but not too much of either. If you think too hard, you overshoot your target and end up at the Pier or the Tenderloin. If you relax and let the city help, the destination does all the work for you.” IfsThinkingNeedsLittlesLongDoeEndsSometimesHardEnoughHelpingUseLightMightFightingBitsProcessSidesLevelsDealsCitiesToo MuchStreetsLove YouBuildingLittle BitInstinctMoodRelaxTargetDestinationHuntingSignalsYour SideEliminationPiers Author:Scott Adams

“The syndicates take the strip and sell it to newspapers and split the income with the cartoonists. Syndicates are essentially agents. Now, can you imagine a novelist giving his literary agent the ownership of his characters and all reprint, television, and movie rights before the agent takes the manuscript to a publisher? Obviously, an author would have to be a raving lunatic to agree to such a deal, but virtually every cartoonist does exactly that when a syndicate demands ownership before agreeing to sell the strip to newspapers.” GivingDoeCharacterActorsDealsRightsImagineTelevisionDemandAgreeSellsNewspapersIncomeAgentsNovelistsMovieSplitsOwnershipPublishersLunaticManuscriptsCartoonistSyndicateLiterary Agents Author:Bill Watterson

“They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow.
