• Entre tres quintos y dos tercios del presupuesto federal consisten en quitar propiedades a un estadounidense para dárselas a otro. Si un particular hiciera lo mismo, lo llamaríamos robo. Cuando lo hace el gobierno, lo llamamos eufemísticamente redistribución de la renta, pero eso es exactamente lo que hacen los ladrones: redistribuir la renta. La redistribución de la renta no sólo traiciona la visión de los fundadores, sino que es un pecado a los ojos de Dios.

• With the socialization of the health care system through institutions such as Medicaid and Medicare and the regulation of the insurance industry (by restricting an insurer’s right of refusal: to exclude any individual risk as uninsurable, and discriminate freely, according to actuarial methods, between different group risks) a monstrous machinery of wealth and income redistribution at the expense of responsible individuals and low-risk groups in favor of irresponsible actors and high-risk groups has been put in motion.

• The evolution of government from its medieval, Mafia-like character to that embodying modern legal institutions and instruments is a major part of the history of freedom. It is a part that tends to be obscured or ignored because of the myopic vision of many economists, who persist in modeling government as nothing more than a gigantic form of theft and income redistribution.
