Saying that government is not the way to solve problems is not saying that humanity cannot solve its problems. What I've finally learned is this: Despite the obstacles created by governments, voluntary networks of private individuals - through voluntary exchange - solve all sorts of challenges.

[T]he only way to shrink the trade deficit is for the government to prohibit us from buying whatever we want.

People acting in their own self-interest is the fuel for all the discovery, innovation, and prosperity that powers the world.

What would you think of a person who earned $24,000 a year but spent $35,000? Suppose on top of that, he was already $170,000 in debt. You'd tell him to get his act together - stop spending so much or he'd destroy his family, impoverish his kids and wreck their future. Of course, no individual could live so irresponsibly for long. But tack on eight more zeroes to that budget and you have the checkbook for our out-of-control, big-spending federal government.

Isn't allowing people a choice what America is all about?

Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.

The smaller the government, the less the need to manipulate politicians.
