Taxing successful business to support unsuccessful business (Hazlitt)
March 21st, 2007 | Published in Business, Economics, Politics, Quotes
The government can give no financial help to business that it does not first or finally take from business. The government’s funds all come from taxes…. When the government makes loans or subsidies to business, what it does is to tax successful business in order to support unsuccessful private business.
–Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson (1946), 34
