Law v. Freedom, by Anthony L. Hargis

About Anthony L. Hargis' Law v. Freedom:

Most everyone in the liberty movement has a plan for eventually establishing a free market; they all require that everyone be free at the same time -- whether they want to be or not. Have you any idea how long you must wait for everyone to be persuaded of freedom's advantages?

According to the standard plan for establishing a free market, you'll be dead before it happens.

If you can't wait this long ... [Hargis] tells you how to increase your freedom now ... whether everyone wants us to or not.

A Declaration of Financial Independence, by John Grandbouche

From the Introduction to A Declaration of Financial Independence:

...one of the strictest mandates in our Constitution is against paper money. Article I Section 10 says that "No State shall ... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."

From Chapter I:

Thus it is easy to understand how law, instead of checking injustice, becomes the invincible weapon of injustice. It is easy to understand why the law is used by the legislator to destroy in varying degrees among the rest of the people, their personal independence by slavery, their liberty by oppression, and their property by plunder. This is done for the benefit of the person who makes the law, and in proportion to the power that he holds.
-- Frederic Bastiat, 1801-1850

Clichés of Socialism, by the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), Leonard E. Read

About Cliches of Socialism, from the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE):

Failure to answer socialistic clichés has effectively silenced many a spokesman for freedom.

Clichés of Socialism is a collection of suggested answers to some of the most common arguments used in favor of socialism today.

From the Frontspiece:

When a devotee of private property, free market, limited government principles states his position, he is inevitably confronted with a barrage of socialistic clichés. Failure to answer these has effectively silenced many a spokesman for freedom.

Here are suggested answers to some of the most persistent of the "Clichés of Socialism." These are not the only answers or even the best possible answers; but they may help you or others to develop better explanations of the ideas on liberty that are the only effective displacement for the empty promises of socialism.

Partial Table of Contents for Cliches of Socialism:

The more complex the society, the more government control we need
If we had no social security, many people would go hungry
The government should do for the people what the people are unable to do for themselves
The right to strike is conceded, but ...
Too much government? Just what would you cut out?
The size of the national debt doesn't matter because we owe it to ourselves
Why, you'd take us back to the horse and buggy
The free market ignores the poor
Man is born for cooperation, not competition
Americans squander their incomes on themselves while public needs are neglected
Labor unions are too powerful today, but were useful in the past
We have learned to counteract and thus avoid any serious depression
Human rights are more important than property rights
... and many more more essays ...

The Authors of Clichés of Socialism:

These answers to various socialistic clichés are by authors such as Leonard E. Read, Paul L. Poirot, Murray N. Rothbard, Hans F. Sennholz, R. C. Hoiles, Robert LeFevre, W. M. Curtiss, Roland W. Holmes, Dean Russell, Thomas J. Shelly, Henry Hazlitt, W. C. Mullendore, Harold Brayman, Benjamin A. Rogge, Willis H. Hall, Jack Morano.

Do Unto the IRS as They Would Do Unto You: The Taxpayer Strikes Back, by Red Beckman

About Red Beckman's Do Unto the IRS as They Would Do Unto You:

He ["Red" Beckman] believes we are committing national suicide. We are destroying ourselves by allowing tax consumers to decide what is a fair share [of taxes]. We also gave our consent when fear and force are used by tax consumers to collect taxes. This is an insanity which is discouraging the production of jobs and wealth.

From the Introduction:

Every single person [in the U.S.A.] was given sovereignty by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. But what good, or value, is sovereignty if one does not know how to exercise it?

Born Again Republic, by Red Beckman

About Red Beckman's Born Again Republic:

Fear of the I.R.S. permeates our society. Our government consumes over half the wealth produced by our productive people. The hard-working citizen is forced to pay and pay as government becomes an insane monster.

We, the people, did this to ourselves. The I.R.S. has no power to send a taxpayer to jail. The people are called for jury duty and it is the guilty verdict of that jury which gave the I.R.S. its power to terrorize and abuse.

Can we find one good, informed, and hard-headed citizen on each and every jury who will say 'NOT GUILTY', 'NOT GUILTY' until he either hangs the jury or educates the rest of the jury?

Will you vote on the jury to protect your fellow citizens from bad law written by dishonest politicians? Will you vote yourself free of fear and big government? Your vote on the jury is your most important vote. Vote for 'We the People'.

What Revolution?

The Law, by Frederic Bastiat

The message of this classic book about the proper function of government, The Law, by Frederic Bastiat, is totally applicable today, even though it was written about 150 years ago,

"The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!"

Partial contents: Perversion of Law; Plunder; Non-Conformists; Voting; Conflict; Socialism; Charity; Education; Conformity; Dictatorship; Justice; Rights; Liberty.
