a great man thanks for sharing! some quotes..

“Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence.”

“The high rate of unemployment among teenagers, and especially black teenagers, is both a scandal and a serious source of social unrest. Yet it is largely a result of minimum wage laws. We regard the minimum wage law as one of the most, if not the most, antiblack laws on the statute books.”

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."

"Only government can take perfectly good paper, cover it with perfectly good ink and make the combination worthless

We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork"

"Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it"

"Governments never learn. Only people learn"

"I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal"

"A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself"

"The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government"

"Inflation is taxation without legislation"

Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist
