The War No One Mentions

Jacob Hornberger writes an excellent article.


Frédéric Bastiat, a 19th-century French legislator, perfectly described the nature of the government in which Americans are living today. He said, “The state is that great fiction by which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else.”

Is there another way? Of course there is. There is a way based on simple moral principles: Everyone keeps his own money. Everyone decides what to do with his own money. No income tax. No IRS. No government grants or assistance to anyone. All charity is voluntary.

It’s called freedom. It’s a peaceful, harmonious way of life, one that Americans once believed in.
