“Fortunately for humanity, a society based
upon legal plunder is ultimately unsustainable. Just as respect for property
rights provides the means to prosperity, violation of them leads to poverty and
want. As force replaces voluntary exchange, productivity decreases, and
subsequently more force is required to plunder even more. This cycle repeats
until society is reduced to an authoritarian nightmare, the first signs of which
are becoming apparent in the former 'land of the free.' If the people wake up,
the nightmare can end. If they continue to slumber, the nightmare can get much,
much worse.”
~ Tom Mullen - “The
Forgotten Right”
