QsOTD, 05/01,2010

Both found at Wikipedia's page for Robert A. Heinlein's greatest (IMHO) oeuvre, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress:
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.
Professor Bernardo de la Paz on the subject of free press.
and
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. —
Professor Bernardo de la Paz on the subject of taxes.

Science Fiction, of course, has no relevance whatsoever in the real world...
