本周出差过程中差点把“好的公共政策7原则”卡片给弄丢了，先把它发出来给大家过目，欢迎纠正我的翻译和理解。

 

1. Free People are not equal, and equal people are not free.

 

2. What belongs to you, you tend to take care of;what belongs to no one or everyone tends to fall into disrepair.

 

3. Sound policy requires that we consider long-run effects and all people, not simply short-run effects and a few people.

 

4. If you encourage something, you got more of it; if you discourage something, you get less of it.

 

5. Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own.

 

6. Government has nothing to give anybody except what it first takes from somebody, and a government that's big enough to give you everthing you want is big enough to take away everything you've got.

 

7. Liberty makes all the difference in the world.
