"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
-- C. S. Lewis
We must be ever vigilante to those with whom we give the power of taxation, for it is also the power to enslave. I reject, wholeheartedly, any governing authority that would take money from my purse with the pretense of caring for me. I would just as soon do that for myself even if I am a miserable failure at it.
The single word that best defines the ideology that I share with many of my fellow countrymen and patriots, is called "Freedom"! It is a word that has embodied the American way of life since our country was established. We must never forget that the 'Freedom' we have enjoyed to our present time has been purchased throughout our history at great cost by those who would who would shed their blood, and unselfishly give the ultimate sacrifice for it. It can only be taken from us if we allow it. I consider any law that would enslave us to a tyrannical government as unjust and to be no law at all. Thank you C.S. Lewis for you words of wisdom.
