Government foreign aid largely served to transfer money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
“Political authority (government) is not about people coming together to do something that everyone already has the right to do. Political authority is about one group of people claiming the right to do things which normal people do not have the right to do, such as taxing and controlling other people.”

“Unlike what I accepted as a child and rookie police officer, it turns out that government, rather than serving as a check against the imperfections of our nature, instead drastically amplifies our greed, resentment, irresponsibility and malice, by giving us a “legal,” personally risk-free way to forcibly interfere with the lives and choices of our fellow man. In short, politics brings out the bully and meddling busy-body in everyone, it encourages and amplifies division.”

“In my youth, I would never have considered personally stealing from my neighbors but I voted for the government to do it for me. I also accepted a salary of money that was stolen from taxpayers, didn ’t I?”

“truly evil people, with all their malice and hatred, pose far less of a threat to mankind than the basically good people who believe in "authority.”

“Bizarrely, almost every statist admits that politicians are more dishonest, corrupt, conniving and selfish than most people, but still insists that civilization can exist only if those particularly untrustworthy people are given both the power and the right to forcibly control everyone else. Believers in "government" truly believe that the only thing that can keep them safe from the flaws of human nature is taking some of those flawed humans—some of the most flawed, in fact—and appointing them as gods, with the right to dominate all of mankind, in the absurd hope that, if given such tremendous power, such people will use it only for good. And the fact that that has never happened in the history of the world does not stop statists from insisting that it "needs" to happen to ensure peaceful civilization.”
