The State Thrives On War

The Best Way To Help The Poor Is To Slash Taxes And Allow Savings, Investment, And Creation Of Jobs To Proceed Unhampered.

Placing The State In Charge Of Moral Principles Is Equivalent To Putting The Proverbial Fox In Charge Of The Chicken Coop.

[t]he Crucial Question Is Not, As So Many Believe, Whether Property Rights Should Be Private Or Governmental, But Rather Whether The Necessarily 'private' Owners Are Legitimate Owners Or Criminals. For Ultimately, There Is No Entity Called 'government'; There Are Only People Forming Themselves Into Groups Called 'governments' And Acting In A 'governmental' Manner. All Property Is Therefore Always 'private'; The Only And Critical Question Is Whether It Should Reside In The Hands Of Criminals Or Of The Proper And Legitimate Owners.

Once One Concedes That A Single World Government Is Not Necessary, Then Where Does One Logically Stop At The Permissibility Of Separate States? If Canada And The United States Can Be Separate Nations Without Being Denounced As In A State Of Impermissible ‘anarchy’, Why May Not The South Secede From The United States? New York State From The Union? New York City From The State? Why May Not Manhattan Secede? Each Neighbourhood? Each Block? Each House? Each Person?

All Of The Services Commonly Thought To Require The State-from The Coining Of Money To Police Protection To The Development Of Law In Defense Of The Rights Of Person And Property-can Be And Have Been Supplied Far More Efficiently And Certainly More Morally By Private Persons. The State Is In No Sense Required By The Nature Of Man; Quite The Contrary.
