The corruption of freedom is in proportion to the moral deterioration of the people. For a people who have lost their sense of self-respect have no need for freedom. And the income tax, by transferring the property of earners to the State, has disintegrated the moral fiber of Americans to such a degree that they do not even recognize the fact.

We cannot restore traditional American freedom unless we limit the government's power to tax.

The early American knew that freedom was nothing more than the absence of external restraint on behavior; the government could not give you freedom, it could only take it away.

Just what part does the State play in production to warrant its rake-off? The State does not give; it merely takes.

Popular suffrage is in itself no guarantee of freedom. People can vote themselves into slavery.

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

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