Only The State Legally Obtains Its Revenue

The More These Readjustments Are Delayed ... The Longer The Depression Will Have To Last, And The Longer Complete Recovery Is Postponed.

The State Has Typically Been A Device For Producing Affluence For A Few At The Expense Of Many.

If We Look Around, Then, At The Crucial Problem Areas Of Our Society - The Areas Of Crisis And Failure - We Find In Each And Every Case A “red Thread” Marking And Uniting Them All: The Thread Of Government. In Every One Of These Cases, Government Either Has Totally Run Or Heavily Influenced The Activity.

If We Look At The Black Record Of Mass Murder, Exploitation, And Tyranny Levied On Society By Governments Over The Ages, We Need Not Be Loath To Abandon The Leviathan State And . . . Try Freedom.

We Must, Therefore, Emphasize That 'we' Are Not The Government; The Government Is Not 'us.' The Government Does Not In Any Accurate Sense 'represent' The Majority Of The People. But, Even If It Did, Even If 70 Percent Of The People Decided To Murder The Remaining 30 Percent, This Would Still Be Murder And Would Not Be Voluntary Suicide On The Part Of The Slaughtered Minority. No Organicist Metaphor, No Irrelevant Bromide That 'we Are All Part Of One Another,' Must Be Permitted To Obscure This Basic Fact.
