Milton Friedman: “I am not a conservative. I’ve never been a conservative. Hayek was not a conservative.”
“We are liberals in the true meaning of that term: concerned with freedom. We are not liberals in the current distorted sense—those liberal with other people’s money.”

Senator Josh - "You've got 32,000 machinists in the Pacific Northwest. They got 1% wage increases over 8 years. You got 45% just last year. Do you think maybe these folks deserve a raise?"
Dave - "They will definitely get a raise."
Then came the verdict.
"I've listened to your testimony. The gist seems to be that if you could just get your employees to comply, things would be better. I don't think the problem is with the employees. I think the problem is with you. It's the C-suite. It's the management. Your engineers are probably the best in the world. Your machinists are outstanding. You're the problem."
"I just hope to God that you don't destroy this company before it can be saved."
