by Thomas J. DiLorenzo

What fantasy land are you living in?

A centralized bureaucracy threatens us with jail if we make a joke when being forced to remove our shoes and get ourselves groped by agents at the border.

The IRS threatens to jail us if we don't testify against ourselves once a year on tax forms to have huge amounts of our labor taken away. If we buy or sell the wrong things at the wrong time or in the wrong way.

The SEC threatens to jail us, and demands that we sign non-disclosure agreements on settlement so that nobody can see the bullying.

We're told that we can't grow grapes setting particular amounts aside in a reserve, or we'll be jailed.

If we trade in anything besides paper stamped by the pseudo-private Federal Reserve bank, we can be jailed for violations of "legal tender" legislation.

Estimates suggest that the average American unwittingly and with no mens rea or malice commits three felonies a day. Which the feds happily use to threaten those who they choose, learning from Beria's dictum "give me the man and I will give you the case against him." ]]> Review7278952567 Sat, 01 Feb 2025 06:59:37 -0800 <![CDATA[Scott added 'Hamilton's Curse: How Jefferson's Arch Enemy Betrayed the American Revolution--and What It Means for Americans Today']]> /review/show/7278952567 Hamilton's Curse by Thomas J.
