Mark T Bertolini famous quotes

Not too far away from now - in the next 6-7 years - 75 million Americans will be retail buyers of healthcare.

Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain.

You can't accuse the creator of The Boondocks, ... Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil and the government is lying about 9/11.

The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.

There was nothing natural about laissez-faire; free markets could never have come into being merely by allowing things to take their course. Just as cotton manufactures were created by the help of protective tariffs, export bounties, and indirect wage subsidies, laissez-faire was enforced by the state.

A genuine free enterprise system, without state-enforced artificial scarcities, artificial property rights or subsidies, would be like dynamite at the foundations of corporate power.

Subsidies create more of whatever is being subsidized.
