President Bush,
Senators Miller and Cleland,
Congressman Linder,
I agree with Murray Sabrin, F. A. Hayek, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and Frederic Bastiat. Washington has turned in to a giant taxpayer slaughter house with both parties fighting like hyenas over a dying corpse. The shameless
theft is sickening.

Read it and Weep - By Murray Sabrin July 24th, 2002
Lord Acton - "Every class is unfit to govern."
Yesterday, the United States Senate failed to pass a prescription drug benefit bill. The hang-up: The Democrats want Medicare to administer the program, that is, they want more velvet socialism. The Republicans want
private insurance companies to administer a Medicare prescription drug benefit; that is, they want more velvet fascism.
In short, the debates in the Congress over policy are between the philosophical descendants of Karl Marx and the philosophical descendants of Benito Mussolini. The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves.
The land of entitlements and the home of the dependents have replaced the land of the free and the home of the brave. The Old Republic is virtually dead. We have watched the great experiment in self-government implode
before our eyes.
The welfare state is in crisis. We are at that proverbial fork in the road. Don't expect the 535 members of Congress to do the right thing. With a few exceptions, virtually all members of the Congress should be voted
out of office. We need congressman and congresswomen who will abide by their oath to uphold the Constitution. It's that simple.
Unless we have the courage, commitment and strength to restore the principles of the Declaration of Independence, we will have a full-blown fascist America by the end of the decade, if not sooner. Every freedom that we have left will be gone or substantially curtailed, and that includes the First Amendment.
Make no mistake about it, statism is marching triumphantly in DC, and people who should be screaming the loudest have been incredibly silent or muted in their criticism of the erosion of liberty.
The stock market is still reeling. There is panic in the air. The chickens are coming home to roost. Our rotten monetary system, our rotten tax system, our rotten spending polices are taking their toll on the economy.
Unless we have a total cleansing, a purge if you will, of the federal leviathan, we should expect more of the same--the gallop toward a fascist America.
F. A. Hayek - "As soon as the state takes upon itself the task of planning the whole economic life, the problem of the due station [rank] of the different individuals and groups must indeed inevitably become the central political problem. As the coercive power of the state will alone decide who is to have what, the only power worth having will be a share in the exercise of this directing power. There will be no economic or social questions that would not be political questions in the sense the their solution will depend exclusively on who wields the coercive power, or whose are the views that will prevail on all occasions. "
Hans-Hermann Hoppe - "If one is indeed concerned about America's moral decay and wants to restore normalcy to society and culture, one must oppose all aspects of the modern social-welfare state. Government funds and power must dwindle to or even fall below their nineteenth century levels."
Fredric Bastait - "But when the law, by means of its necessary agent, force, imposes upon men a regulation of labor, a method or a subject of education, a religious faith or creed--then the law is no longer negative; it acts positively upon people. It substitutes the will of the legislator for their own wills, the initiative of the legislator for their own initiatives. When this happens, the people no longer need to discuss, to compare and to plan ahead; the law does all this for them. Intelligence becomes a useless prop for the people; they cease to be men; they lose their personality, their liberty, their property."
