In 1776, 1950, or now, there's never been a golden age of liberty, and there never will be. People who value freedom will always have to defend it from those who claim the right to wield power over others. ... And, in today's world, that means more than a musket by the door.

We should distinguish at this point between "government" and "state" ...

Taxes should be lower, flatter, and simpler, in that order.
