According to Liberalism, Might Makes Right

…hibited from raising force against one another. This is why rape, assault, theft and blackmail through physical threats are all against the law. According to this regulator talking to John Stossel in the interview, that principle no longer applies once government passes a law saying it’s OK. By the principle she operates on, rape or assault would be OK — IF the government passed a law allowing government officials to do it. Now, she probably would… Continue reading →

“Reforming” Government a Toxic Fantasy

…t considers more worthy, it’s engaging in legalized plunder i.e. legalized theft, plain and simple. You can’t and you shouldn’t expect efficiency from a criminal. The fact that the criminal operates under the legal sanction of government doesn’t change the nature of what it’s doing. If you love Big Government, then all I can say is “Good luck” as the budget deficit continues to explode and the government proceeds to inflate the money supply, there… Continue reading →

Permission to Swindle

…y transferred to those who did not earn it, is nothing more than legalized theft. It’s legalized plunder. Once government is given moral permission to take billions from the private, productive economy and transfer it to whomever politicians deem worthy, of course there will be corruption. Corruption exists in the very act of wealth transfer itself. Expressing outrage over the kind of transfer without condemning the very nature of transfer gives p… Continue reading →

Obama and the Politics of Plunder

…f redistribution this is the sort of leader you get — this one, the last one and the one before that. The people who vote for these creeps, actually thinking you can change the nature of plunder and legalized theft, are the ones who brought America down. America is learning that you cannot change leaders to get change. You must change the nature of government and what it does. That would be change…. Continue reading →

…, small toys, etc. Some may not even be aware that they have committed the theft. Kleptomania is very rare, and most shoplifters are by no means kleptomaniacs. One thing that shoplifters and kleptomaniacs do have in common is an ‘after the fact’ sense that there was no rational reason to steal. In the case of children and teens, peer pressure is sometimes a factor. However, shoplifting is most often not the result of a need for material things. We… Continue reading →

The Myth of “Market Failure”

…making them. It’s futile and silly to try and legislate into existence a situation where human beings can be protected from their own fallible natures — by human beings who choose to enter careers in government, of all things! Laws to negate and punish fraud, theft or initiation of violence are one thing. You surely cannot have civilization without them. At the same time, laws enacted to, in effect, create businesses, generate profit, or achieve… Continue reading →

Government, Step Aside!

…easier than it is. They lack serenity and realism. They cannot stand for a world in which millions of different people make their own decisions, for themselves, in a context where government does not intervene at all, except in cases of violence, fraud or theft. This is inconceivable to nearly everyone, yet it’s the only way for human progress to continue. This is how we got as far as we did. So don’t pin your hopes on President Anyone to “fix it… Continue reading →

Stimulate Me!

…ng that money on himself. Would you call this economic activity, or simply theft? Spending is not a virtue in itself. It depends on who’s doing the spending and how that money was obtained. I think many people realize this, on some level. The problem is that they accept the magical thinking implied by the phrase “economic stimulus.” When told the bill is full of government pork for special interest groups, overwhelming majorities oppose it. But wh… Continue reading →

Socialism: Polite Word for Shakedown

…“spread the wealth” around. Socialism ignores the immorality of legalized theft — stealing from those who produced, and handing the loot over to those who didn’t. Socialism ignores the root of production — the human mind — and its corresponding need to be free in order to produce. Socialism, wherever it’s tried, will always fail. You can’t depend on the production of wealth in order to redistribute wealth — all the while ignoring the requirement… Continue reading →

Is “unconditional love” really what you want?

…easily plates can break), and willful, destructive actions (such as lying, theft and violence). A child certainly needs a patient parent who understands that children need time to acquire adult knowledge. Yet, precisely because children are not born with knowledge of right and wrong, it is up to a parent to teach the child such concepts, using concrete, consistent conditions and consequences. Sometimes such lessons are difficult, and may require a… Continue reading →

…years, several area ‘home invasions’ involving vandalism, bodily harm and theft occurred through unlocked doors. A gunman recently gained access to a woman’s home in Rehoboth Beach—through unlocked doors—with fatal results. Two cars—the keys hanging invitingly in the ignition—were recently stolen and taken on joyrides. A business associate of mine used to proclaim smugly that he never locked the doors of his home in an affluent suburb of Washingt… Continue reading →
