"In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty. Without taxes there would be no property. Without taxes, few of us would have any assets worth defending. [It is] a dim fiction that some people enjoy and exercise their rights without placing any burden whatsoever on the public… There is no liberty without dependency."

- Cass Sunstein

The pedigree of this moral monster’s ideas is a guarantee of the gulag, the mass grave and the gallows.

That’s where we’re headed unless we fight and win the next American Civil War.

Yes. We could. It's what our founding father tried to give us. Later, the politicians got power hungry and ruined it for everyone.

BZZZZZZ!

Out-of-context alert!

Let's see the WHOLE thing, shall we?


War is peace
Freedom is slavery
There is no liberty without dependency

There, I fixed it.
