But, on reflection, this demand is almost preposterous, because the people are calling on the very persons who, to promote their own interests, created the offensive laws, regulations, and policies in the first place. Calling for the rulers to reform the government is like calling for cats to befriend mice or for cannibals to take up vegetarianism." -- Robert Higgs
Dear MJ: Making allowances for what 'Robert Higgs' quoted is a huge
part of what my "NC" does! Supposing that simply by electing some
perfect combination of public officials that all of our problems—
created over the last century, plus—will just go away, is ridiculous!
All of the socialist, bastard Democrats will still be that way, even
if the Republicans win big this November. Socialism is a CANCER that
my "NC" cuts out WITHOUT requiring constantly voting in or out those
in public office! In fact, my "NC" defines the scope and limits of
government so well, that a political party, even if not forbidden by
my "NC", would have no power to influence the course of government,
anyway! Public officials who propose bills that run counter to the
fairness mandate of my "NC" will be guilty of TREASON and will be
hanged! So, I wouldn't suggest that any crook who is socialist-minded
about anything, ever run for public office. Once the people realize
that government is constitutionally limited in what such can do, they
will stop "choosing-up-sides" to try to accomplish ends which
ultimately kill our country. Once taxation FINALLY reaches the
optimum 10% of GNP for our combined local, state and federal
governments, there will be so much ready cash in most people's
pockets, they wouldn't think of trying to get government to do a thing
for them. My goal for the federal government is to make sure there
are ZERO checks being written to any individual citizens other than
the 15% of the present number of government employees. The key is to
write laws which do NOT require huge bureaucracies to support them!
Having only value-added taxes eliminates the entire IRS. And it
reduces the 10% to 15% of the cost of every product or service in this
country that is there, solely, to do the paperwork, hire the
accountants, and hire the lawyers to interface with government. Once
90% of our present government employees are actually WORKING (in
industry) the quantity of our goods AND the dollars to buy them, will
RAISE the standards of living of the entire country! The free
enterprise, CAPITALIST system will do all of these things WITHOUT
needing government involvement. The 'controls' are clearly stipulated
in my "NC". "Know that what I say is truth!" (A Biblical quote.) —

The statesman becomes, in the last analysis, a mere witch-hunter, a glorified smeller and snooper, eternally chanting Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum! It has been so in the United States since the earliest days. The whole history of the country has been a history of melodramatic pursuits of horrendous monsters, most of them imaginary: the red-coats, the Hessians, the monocrats, again the red-coats, the Bank, the Catholics, Simon Legree, the Slave Power, Jeff Davis, Mormonism, Wall Street, the rum demon, John Bull, the hell hounds of plutocracy, the trusts, General Weyler, Pancho Villa, German spies, hyphenates, the Kaiser, Bolshevism. The list might be lengthened indefinitely; a complete chronicle of the Republic could be written in terms of it, and without omitting a single important episode." -- H.L.
