There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him." - from Professor de la Paz's speech to Congress.

Quote from "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress", by Robert Heinlein.

"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." - Obama

Pretty much.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress does show its age (written in the 1960s), but its a great look at a libertarian revolution.
