The freedoms won by Americans in 1776 were lost in the revolution of 1913.

All wars come to an end, at least temporarily. But the authority acquired by the state hangs on; political power never abdicates.

There cannot be a good tax nor a just one; every tax rests its case on compulsion.

We cannot restore traditional American freedom unless we limit the government's power to tax. No tinkering with this, that, or the other law will stop the trend toward socialism. We must repeal the Sixteenth Amendment.

Since the State thrives on what it expropriates, the general decline in production that it induces by its avarice foretells its own doom. Its source of income dries up. Thus, in pulling Society down it pulls itself down. Its ultimate collapse is usually occasioned by a disastrous war, but preceding that event is a history of increasing and discouraging levies on the marketplace, causing a decline in the aspirations, hopes, and self-esteem of its victims.

We have retained the forms and phrases of a republic, but in reality we are living under an oligarchy, not of courtesan, but of bureaucrats.

There cannot be a "good" society until there are "good" men.
