Thanks for posting. WE definitely need much less government. Beware you may have angered the powers that be. The writer’s website is forbidden here. Cannot post articles from it.

I support the concept completely, especially that whole “let society take care of itself” part.

Some very cogent observations. I’ve heard of Murray Rothbard but I’ve never studied him. Time to change that.

This is why an income tax is immoral because it’s a tax on a man’s labor.

Capitalism without government only works when all parties act within moral boundaries and don’t try to screw someone else in order to make a buck.

Everyone more or less lived under "anarcho-capitalism" until the early 1900's and (arguably) until the 1930's.

You know, back when the US became the most powerful industrial engine in the world and the standard of living skyrocketed.

What's happened since is that, having acquired some prosperity (and the upper class having acquired a lot of prosperity), people have sought to 'lock in' that prosperity through everything from zoning regulations to labor laws, etc., and massive burdens have been imposed on economic life in the pursuit of bobo aesthetics: everything from historic preservation to the environmentalist extremism that closes off almost all development of Federal land and imposes lunatic 'environmental impact' statements on almost every business plant project.

Real capitalism threatens those who have already gained the most, not those at the bottom.
