I'm an imperfect messenger, but the message is perfect.

If people won't spend any money, the government has this moral obligation to do it.

The most sinister of all taxes is the inflation tax and it is the most regressive. It hits the poor and the middle class. When you destroy a currency by creating money out of thin air to pay the bills, the value of the dollar goes down, and people get hit with a higher cost of living. It's the middle class that's being wiped out. It is most evil of all taxes.

Remember, politicians get votes by promising everything to everyone, always at the expense of some other invisible taxpayers.

America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.

Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.
