FR33Agents.com | Compassion is easy when you don’t need to worry about pesky concepts like “consent.” I mean, if I really want to be compassionate, I can always just mug some rich guy and give the proceeds to a local homeless shelter. This is effectively what the government is doing, but since they don’t call it “theft,” but “taxation” and “redistribution,” we accept it.
FFF.org | If we’re going to let federal officials who have violated federal criminal statutes against torture off the hook, then why shouldn’t drug users and tax resisters be pardoned at the same time? After all, what the drug users and tax resisters have done pales in comparison to what the torturers have done. If the torturers are permitted to go scot-free, then the drug users and tax resisters deserve to be freed as well.
RealClearMarkets.com | Would you ever use the ballot box to force others to practice your religion or make them pay to build you a church? Why do you find it easy to do this with your economic beliefs, compelling others to foot the bill for the public policies you promote?
LostLibertyCafe.com | This whole family-is-unquestionably-virtuous propaganda is so entirely outdated and medieval. I do think more and more young people are now realizing this, which means even more people will know this in the future. Can you even begin to imagine a world where we all drop abusive people and work on having real honest relationships, where parents treat their children like human beings with respect because they recognize the relationship is voluntary? A world where everyone processes their unconscious and their abuse, refusing to pass a bit of it on to the next generation? That is freedom, that is true happiness and that is something to actually work on achieving in your lifetime.
FFF.org | The statists say that I have the right to take your money from you in order to pay the doctor. Hey, don’t complain — you’ve got the right to health care too, meaning that you can go take everyone else’s money to pay your doctor bills.
Strike-The-Root.com | So it's not really ignorance alone; there is, at root, an ethical question at work, and it centers on the gross immorality of casting a vote. Yes, politicians are malevolent or stupid, most likely the former in my view, but everyone who votes for them is complicit, up to his neck, actively taking part in the most humongous act of armed robbery in the history of man. That is not "insurance"--a perfectly sound idea involving the voluntary sharing of the risk of heavy but unpredictable loss--this is theft, neither more nor less. That is the real, moral disease that has infected the core of this society and no amount of medical care is going to cure it. Read Entire Article
NewHampshireFreePress.com | These are typical instances. In the past six months there have been two deaths here that we are aware of. Medical and dental treatment here are non-existent, the staff here does nothing more than negligent observation. Such treatment would be prosecutable in the outside world as criminal negligence and malpractice, if not wrongful deaths.
NewHampshireFreePress.com | The free market is a naturally occurring phenomenon that can't be eliminated by governments, not even totalitarian ones like the former Soviet Union. It can be regulated, over-taxed and manipulated until it is driven underground. Lately it has been wrongly accused of doing so many things it just doesn't do, that are really the fault of crony corporatism and convoluted government policies that brought on the crisis. Too many people equate the free market with big business doing whatever it wants, but that is not the free market. Unconstitutional taxpayer funded bailouts are what allow giant corporations to run roughshod over the economy. The free market is what puts them out of business when they misbehave.
DavidChandler911 | This view of the destruction of the South Tower of the World Trade Center displays a remarkable number of features that support the interpretation that it was destroyed by explosives.
ShowEdTheLaw | One must inquire why the government just didn't just show the law that made Ed and Elaine Brown liable for the voluntary income tax to avoid the expense and danger of a standoff. I say "voluntary" because the IRS's own literature informs you the income tax is based on voluntary compliance. No bureaucrat will ever assess your income; you do it yourself, voluntarily, waiving your Fifth Amendment right when you sign that 1040.
