Ever since its founding in 1913, the Fed has described itself as an “independent” agency operated by selfless public servants striving to “fine-tune” the economy through monetary policy. In reality, however, a non-political governmental institution is as likely as a barking cat.

It is no coincidence that some of America’s most lethargic industries-steel, footwear, rubber, textiles-are also among the most heavily protected.

Isn’t the whole idea behind the massive regulation and regimentation of American industry and society the notion that individuals should be forced to behave in ways defined by a small governmental elite?

The biggest roadblock to middle-class economic advancement is that governments confiscate more than a third of all family income. Each year the average American taxpayer works 127 days – from January 1 until May 7 – just to pay taxes.

The purpose of government is for those who run it to plunder those who do not.

I agree with Clyde Wilson that America can’t be saved or returned to its roots until the Republican Party is destroyed.

Socialism is socialism. Government run enterprises are just as inept under democratic governments as they are under autocratic governments.
