Taking Five And Returning Four Is Not

It Is Impossible To Introduce Into Society A Greater Change And A Greater Evil Than This: The Conversion Of The Law Into An Instrument Of Plunder.

The Real Cost Of The State Is The Prosperity We Do Not See, The Jobs That Don’t Exist, The Technologies To Which We Do Not Have Access, The Businesses That Do Not Come Into Existence, And The Bright Future That Is Stolen From Us. The State Has Looted Us Just As Surely As A Robber Who Enters Our Home At Night And Steals All That We Love.

As Long As It Is Admitted That The Law May Be Diverted From Its True Purpose - That It May Violate Property Instead Of Protecting It - Then Everyone Will Want To Participate In Making The Law, Either To Protect Himself Against Plunder Or To Use It For Plunder.

Often The Masses Are Plundered And Do Not Know It.

If Everyone Enjoyed The Unrestricted Use Of His Faculties And The Free Disposition Of The Fruits Of His Labor, Social Progress Would Be Ceaseless, Uninterrupted, And Unfailing.
