FEW WORDS HAVE MORE MEANING

The Ancient Chinese Libertarian Tradition

After referring to the common experience of mankind with government, Lao-tzu came to this incisive conclusion: "The more artificial taboos and restrictions there are in the world, the more the people are impoverished…. The more that laws and regulations are given prominence, the more thieves and robbers there will be."

We got sold out again today, my FLAG is at half mast! My bass teacher was curious as to why we seemed to know more and what was right than our legislators...

Zimbabwe Economics

A word to the wise: you can’t really make people wealthy by resorting to "Zimbabwe economics." A society grows rich by producing things...and saving money. There is no other way. Cheaper credit won’t do it. More consumption won’t help. Printing money – and dumping it from helicopters – is a losing proposition. Jan/08
