[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1451756, member: 1294"] And the difference between gov. mandated insurance, (auto or health) and a "protection racket" is...? Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry - Thomas Jefferson "If you cannot constrain the state to the standards in 'The Law', then you simply legalize plunder. Given the choice, I would rather deal with plunder by individuals than plunder by the state any day." "But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime." *~Frédéric Bastiat The Law. 1850 "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson [/QUOTE]
