"With Liberty & Justice for all"
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Declaration of Independence
“They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin
“The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke
“An institution that is not selfish must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering.” Clara Barton
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Article X, Amendments to the United States Constitution.
“If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks, and corporations that grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their forefathers conquered.” Thomas Jefferson
“All subjects over which the sovereign power of a State extends, are
objects of taxation: but those over which it does not extend, are upon the
soundest principals, exempt from taxation. This proposition may almost be
self evident. The sovereignty of a State extends to everything which exists
by its own authority, or is introduced by its permission.” U.S. Supreme
Court, M’Culloch v. The State of Maryland
When personal liberty is taken away, financial freedom soon follows. Your substance will gradually be eaten away.
The biggest enemy that adds to human suffering more than anything else is ignorance of the law; whether self inflicted or guided by someone else.
