“This is so classic. Government comes along under the guise of fairness, fixes something, gonna make it fair, gonna make it equal, gonna make it affordable, maybe even make it free. What they end up doing is blowing it all to hell, screwing it up worse than it's ever been screwed up, then their voters bellyache and complain about it. And the same Democrats come back and demand that something be done, because their voters need a second chance.” NeedsEndsDoneGovernmentChanceHellDemandEqualFairsDemocratComplainingClassicVotersFairnessSecond ChanceAffordableScrewed UpGuiseBlowing It Author:Rush Limbaugh
“The law, for all its failings, has a noble goal - to make the little bit of life that people can actually control more just. We can't end disease or natural disasters, but we can devise rules for our dealings with one another that fairly weigh the rights and needs of everyone, and which, therefore, reflect our best vision of ourselves.” PeopleNeedsLittlesEndsLawBitsGoalNaturalVisionRightsFailingDiseaseLittle BitNobleDisasterFairnessDealingsNatural Disaster Author:Scott Turow
“Free people can treat each other justly, but they can't make life fair. To get rid of the unfairness among individuals, you have to exercise power over them. The more fairness you want, the more power you need. Thus, all dreams of fairness become dreams of tyranny in the end.” PeopleWantNeedsEndsDreamIndividualExerciseFairsTreatsTyrannyFairnessUnfairness Author:Andrew Klavan
