Welfare State Quotes

There are few genuine conservatives within the U.S. political system, and it is a sign of the intellectual corruption of the age that the honorable term 'conservatism' can be appropriated to disguise the advocacy of a powerful, lawless, aggressive and violent state, a welfare state for the rich dedicated to a lunatic form of Keynesian economic intervention that enhances state and private power while mortgaging the country's future. Noam Chomsky
The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare, no matter what happens to the world, that's not equity, it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people. Jacques Delors
Thomas Sowell quote: "The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the..."
The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites. Thomas Sowell
There was no welfare state, and people had to rely mainly on the Poor Law - that was all the state provided. It was very degrading, very humiliating. And there was a means test for receiving poor relief. Barbara Castle
The conservative revolution that Reagan helped usher in gained traction because Reagan's central insight - that the liberal welfare state had grown complacent and overly bureaucratic, with Democratic policy makers more obsessed with slicing the economic pie than with growing the pie - contained a good deal of truth. Barack Obama
[There] are people who make a complete and utter mockery of 'democracy' and 'equality' - they're the casualties of the primitive rules of competition which run our society, and the welfare state just keeps them alive. That's all. Michael Palin
Bush has legitimized a huge expansion of the welfare state, liberalizing immigration, and using force for democratization abroad. All the next Democratic president has to do to finish Bush's hard work is to raise taxes to pay for it all. Andrew Sullivan
John Monks quote: "The best performers in Europe are those who use their welfare..."
The best performers in Europe are those who use their welfare states to help people adjust to change. John Monks
I want to increase our spending on research and development by 25%. That's something the U.S. does very well. That dynamism alongside a welfare state in the European community - that's the synthesis I want to achieve. Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
The welfare state is collapsing all around us. There are people that realize that we can't go on this way, but I'm not sure how many people realize how close we are to the collapse of the U.S. financial system. Rush Limbaugh
Gene Simmons quote: "Fiscally, I'm very conservative. I don't believe in welfare..."
Fiscally, I'm very conservative. I don't believe in welfare states. I believe in giving people jobs. Gene Simmons
What we're putting forward is the most radical reform of the welfare state... for 60 years. I think it will have a transformative effect in making sure that everyone is better off in work and better off working rather than on benefits. David Cameron
Jeb Bush quote: "There are people who believe in expanding the welfare state..."
There are people who believe in expanding the welfare state across the spectrum of races and ethnicities and creeds. Jeb Bush
Bahrainis are better off than many other Arabs. We have a welfare state, everybody gets a salary whether they have a job or not. Electricity and food are subsidized; school and healthcare are free. And we don't differentiate between Bahrainis and foreigners. We are very proud of that. Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
If I were a dictator, religion and state would be separate. I swear by my religion. I will die for it. But it is my personal affair. The state has nothing to do with it. The state would look after your secular welfare, health, communications, foreign relations, currency and so on, but not your or my religion. That is everybody's personal concern! Mahatma Gandhi
