The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions

Liberty built civilization. It can rebuild civilization.

I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas.

Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense.

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

Strictly speaking, it probably is not “necessary” for the federal government to tax anyone directly; it could simply print the money it needs. However, that would be too bold a stroke, for it would then be obvious to all what kind of counterfeiting operation the government is running. The present system combining taxation and inflation is akin to watering the milk; too much water and the people catch on.

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.
