"The Government that is big enough to give you everything you need, is also big enough to take away everything you have." -- Barry Goldwater

And if you support Ron Paul, you're even more of a traitor than Goldwater was. ---wideawake

Barry Goldwater, like Ron Paul, was all talk and zero action.

You can keep your orators.

Actually:
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."
Gerald Ford in a Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974)
Even Ford had a couple good quotes. But it does sound like Goldwater, I'll grant you.

For more Goldwater quotes, see: Barry Goldwater - Wikiquote
