Civil Liberties Examiner: Shoeshine man's plight shows the government sees no right to make a living

It is very sad how far the United States has fallen in the last 103 years.

"The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the state or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no such duty to the state, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His rights are such as existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of the state."
- United States Supreme Court, 1906
