Barry Goldwater (1909–1998) American politician
Gerald Ford in a Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974) <br class="br">Ford has also been quoted as having made a similar statement many years earlier, as a representative to the US Congress: "If the government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take away everything you have." <br class="br">"If Elected, I Promise…" : Stories and Gems of Wisdom by and About Politicians (1960) p. 193 <br class="br">Unsourced variants attributed to Goldwater include:<br>A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.<br>Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have. <br class="br">However, Karl Hess, a speechwriter for Goldwater, quoted Goldwater as having "repeatedly" said during the 1964 campaign that "the government strong enough to give you what you want is strong enough to take it all away."
