If a man has the right to self-ownership, to the control of his life, then in the real world he must also have the right to sustain his life.
There can be no truly moral choice unless that choice is made in freedom.
The State, by its very nature, must violate the generally accepted moral laws to which most people adhere.
The State says that citizens may not take from another by force and against his will that which belongs to another. And yet the State…does just that.
The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State…is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.
Libertarians regard the state as the Supreme, the eternal, the best organized aggressor against the persons and property of the mass of the public.
The State is a coercive criminal organization that subsists by a regularized large-scale system of taxation-theft.
The fact that a majority might support or condone an act of theft does not diminish the criminal essence of the act or its grave injustice.
The necessary result…of the unequal fiscal action of the government is to divide the community into two great classes…tax-payers and tax-consumers.
This…is the welfare state in action: It’s a whole bunch of special interest groups screwing consumers and taxpayers, and making them think they’re really benefiting.
