Since all wages come out of production, and since the amount of production is in proportion to the amount of capital in use, it follows that the income tax, by depleting capital investment, tends to reduce both job opportunities and wages.
When all the capital in the country is in the hands of the government, then all of us must work for the government under the conditions it prescribesand that is slavery.
Those who practice that trade have the good grace not to moralize about it; they pick on the traveler who looks opulent and pass up the obvious bum. The government does likewise, and like the highwayman it does not quibble over how the victim came by his wealth.
The ideal of limited government -- codifying and enforcing the taboos, that is, inhibiting destructive actions and defending the life and livelihood of all -- gets less and less attention as government assumes the managemen to creative activities.
Many of those who agree that freedom should be the rule will endorse social security, Medicare, trips to the moon, subsidies, on and on.
It might just as well be said that a man must consent to be bound hand and foot, in order to enable a government, or his friends, to protect him against an enemy.
If anyone desires any favors from any body, he must, I repeat, depend upon the voluntary kindness of such of his fellow men as may be willing to grant them. No government can have any right to grant them; because no government can have a right to take from one man any thing that is his, and give it to another.
You evidently believe that the men who made those laws were duly authorized to make them; and that you yourself have been duly authorized to enforce them. But in this you are utterly mistaken.
You evidently believe that those great volumes of statutes, which the people at large have never read, nor even seen, and never will read, nor see, but which such men as you and your lawmakers have been manufacturing for nearly a hundred years, to restrain them of their liberty ...
... anything in the law of nature — anything in the natural, inherent, inalienable, individual rights of millions of people — to the contrary notwithstanding.
Did folly, falsehood, absurdity, assumption, or criminality ever reach a higher point than that?
You evidently believe that a certain paper, called the constitution, which no-body ever signed, which few persons ever read, which the great body of the people never saw, and as to the meaning of which no two persons were ever agreed, is the supreme law of this land ...
But you evidently believe nothing of what I have now been saying. You evidently believe that justice is no law at all, unless in cases where the lawmakers may chance to prefer it to any law which they themselves can invent.
They seem to be utterly blind to the fact, that the only reason there can be for their existence as a government, is that they may protect those very "rights," which they before scrupulously respected, but which they now unscrupulously trample upon.
And all the laws they make are based upon the assumption that they have now become invested with rights that are more than human, and that those, on whom their laws are to operate, have lost even their human rights.
Let but this "equal and exact justice" be secured "to all men," and they will then be abundantly able to take care of themselves, and secure their own highest "good."
It is also the only "equal and exact justice," which you, or anybody else, are capable of securing, or have any occasion to secure, to any human being.
It is a universal and impartial "good" of the highest importance to each and every human being; and not any such vague, false, and criminal thing as the lawmakers — when violating private rights — tell us they are trying to accomplish, under the name of "the public good."
This is a "good" that comes home to each and every individual, of whom " the public" is composed. It is also a "good," which each and every one of these individuals, composing "the public," can appreciate. It is a "good," for the loss of which governments can make no compensation whatever.
The greatest "public good" of which any coercive power, calling itself a government, or by any other name, is capable, is the protection of each and every individual in the quiet and peaceful enjoyment and exercise of all his own natural, inherent, inalienable, individual "rights."
The pretence of the lawmakers, that they are promoting the "public good," by violating individual "rights" is just as false and absurd as is the pretence that they are protecting "public rights" by violating "private rights."
They are just as false and absurd as it would be to say that they are protecting the public healthy by arbitrarily poisoning and destroying the health of single individuals.
Therefore all the pretences of so-called lawmakers, that they are protecting "public rights," by violating private rights, are sheer and utter contradictions and frauds.
In so far as the separate, private, natural rights of individuals are secured, in just so far, and no farther, are the "public rights" secured. In so far as the separate, private, natural rights of individuals are disregarded or violated, in just so far are "public rights" disregarded or violated.
Legally speaking, the term "public rights" is as vague and indefinite as are the terms "public health," "public good", "public welfare" and the like. It has no legal meaning, except when used to describe the separate, private, individual rights of a greater or less number of individuals.
The term "the public" is an utterly vague and indefinite one, applied arbitrarily and at random to a greater or less number of individuals, each and every one of whom have their own separate, individual rights, and none others.
