More From Bill Moyers

You cannot choose between party government and parliamentary government. i say, you can have no parliamentary government if you have no party government; and, therefore, when gentlemen denounce party government, they strike at the scheme of government which, in my opinion, has made this country great, and which i hope will keep it great.

A famous, very often quoted phrase says: "that government is best, which governs least." i do not believe this to be a correct description of of the functions of a good government. government ought to do all the things for which it is needed and for which it is established. government ought to protect the individuals within the country against the violent and fraudulent attacks of gangsters, and it should defend the country against foreign enemies. these are the functions of government within a free system, within the system of the market economy.
Country Believe Government
The left wants you to believe that true morality is defined by how much money you give the government, how much money you pay the government, how much money the government gets from you, because only the government does good stuff, only the government does good works, only the government cares about people. it's bogus.

In my inaugural i laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. it seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. by "business" i mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers i mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages i mean more than a bare subsistence level - i mean the wages of decent living.
Country Mean Simple
The spirit of a government must be that of the country. the form of a government must come from the makeup of the country. government is nothing but the balance of the natural elements of a country.

They talk about class warfare -- the fact of the matter is there has been class warfare for the last thirty years. it's a handful of billionaires taking on the entire middle-class and working-class of this country. and the result is you now have in america the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth and the worst inequality in america since 1928. how could anybody defend the top 400 richest people in this country owning more wealth than the bottom half of america, 150 million people?

Is there some magic wand they can wave on it and presto! - physics is overturned and carbon dioxide doesn't trap heat anymore? and when we see all these things happening on the earth itself, what in the hell do they think is causing it? the scientists have long held that the evidence in their considered word is "unequivocal," which has been endorsed by every national academy of science in every major country in the entire world.
