Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.

Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.

The essence of Government is power and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

We believe a renewed commitment to limited government will unshackle our economy and create millions of new jobs and opportunities for all people, of every background, to succeed and prosper. Under this approach, the spirit of initiative - not political clout - determines who succeeds.

Government is an evil it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.
