Taxation of private property, or the regulation of such property so as to reduce its value, can become in effect a form of servitude.
Mark LevinThe government does not add value to the economy. It removes value from the economy by imposing taxes on one citizen and providing cash to another.
Mark LevinThe Founders believed, and the Conservative agrees, in the dignity of the individual; that we, as human beings, have a right to live, live freely, and pursue that which motivates us not because man or some government says so, but because these are God-given natural rights.

Mark LevinThe intensive and concerted effort to exclude references to religion or God from public places is an attack on our founding principles. It's an attempt to bolster a growing reliance on the government--especially the judiciary--as the source of our rights. But if our rights are not unalienable, if they don't come from a source higher than ourselves, then they're malleable at the will of the state. This is a prescription for tyranny.
