"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion..." - Ayn Rand
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice- you may know that your society is doomed."
But, I understand where you're going (I just get riled at that familiar argument - no offense, haha). Honestly, Mitch? I think it's all a fraud. I'm not even convinced that the votes are counted anymore.
All the best.
I do appreciate your thoughts above. And, I don't fault you, at all, for voting. To each their own.
The GOP and Dems are one party, not two.
Paul is the only pro-liberty candidate. The rest are all evil, statist looters.
Don't consent to slavery.
