Quote of the Day

The difference between a thief and a congressman: When a thief steals your money, he doesn’t expect you to thank him.

Walter E. Williams
2008
Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays, page 110.
Also, in a 1994 column titled “Government vs. Private Charity.”

There are other differences as well. A thief won’t make innocent actions into criminal acts and tell you it is for your own good.

One could probably make a quite large list of differences indicating that thieves are more honest and honorable than congressmen. But I prefer to just say all politicians are criminal suspects and should be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
