"In the late 1980s, Soviets were allowed to keep the wealth they created by raising vegetables on their garden plots. Although these plots composed only about 2% of the agricultural lands in the Soviet Union, they produced 25% of the food! When Soviets kept the wealth they created, they produced almost 16 times more than when it was taken from them at gunpoint, if necessary!" |

"A wise man neither suffers himself to be governed,
nor attempts to govern others." |
"Whosoever uses force without Right ... puts himself into a state of War with those, against whom he uses it, and in that state all former Ties are canceled, all other Rights cease, and every one has a Right to defend himself, and to resist the Aggressor." |

"The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do
not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only
a species of legalized larceny. The wise and correct course to follow
in taxation is not to destroy those who have already secured success,
but to create conditions under which everyone will have a better chance
to be successful." |
"But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply.
See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them,
and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong.
See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another
by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime." |
"Is there any reason why the American people
should be taxed to guarantee the debts of banks,
any more than they should be taxed to guarantee
the debts of other institutions, including merchants,
the industries, and the mills of the country?" |

"The body of People may with Respect resist intolerable Tyranny." |
"Few things are more laughably pitiable than authority once it has been successfully defied." |
"That this privilege of giving or of withholding our monies is an
important barrier against the undue exertion of prerogative, which if
left altogether without control may be exercised to our great oppression;
and all history shews how efficacious is its intercession for redress
of grievances and re-establishment of rights, and how improvident
would be the surrender of so powerful a mediator." |
