Quote by Harry Browne

Libertarians know that a free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out - while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out.

Summary

This quote highlights the contrast in perspectives between libertarians and proponents of a welfare state. Libertarians advocate for freedom of movement, believing that in a truly free country, there should be no fear or concern about people entering or leaving. In their eyes, this freedom is an integral part of a free society. On the other hand, the quote suggests that a welfare state may be apprehensive about poor individuals entering because of potential strain on resources and may be worried about wealthy individuals leaving, potentially leading to a loss of tax revenue.
