laissez faire is everywhere! 'cuz socialism sucks!

  "Laissez faire is everywhere!"  The market overcomes socialism.  The black
market saved the Union of Soviet Socialist States from it's toilet of
socialism.  Ditto for Communist China. The market saves the economy of the
United Socialist States of America from domestic socialism.  It's the
ubiquitous and invisible hand of the free market.  Socialism isn't fair,
neither laissez nor savoir.  The market is the mouse that roars. The market
is all mice scampering to and fro in the streets where socialism blackens
life.

    "Laissez faire" is related to the words "lease" (let go) and "release."
Laissez faire: "allow to act" from French 1815-1825.  The libertarian Ralph
Raico recounts a story about the famous French mercantilist minister,
Colbert, once asked a group of businessmen what he could do for them. One of
the men, Legendre, is supposed to have replied, Laissez nous faire--leave us
alone. Several French authors in the earlier part of the 18th century,
including the Marquis d'Argenson, used the slogan laissez faire. The great
Turgot attributed the rule laissez faire, laissez passer--leave things
alone, let goods pass through--to Gournay. Sometimes a phrase was added
suggesting the social theory behind the slogan: le monde va de lui même--the
world goes by itself. Today the term laissez faire has come to mean: leave
the people alone, let them be, in their economic activities, in their
religious affairs, in thought and culture, in the pursuit of fulfillment in
their own lives.

examples of some of the words in other phrases:
