The Ten Principles of a Free Society

1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.

2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.

3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.

4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.

5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.

6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people's money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.

7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.

8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.

9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.

10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.

Can't wait to buy this book.
 
Jury trials are a fucking horror. I would hate to be on either side of a trial by jury; too often they end up coming down to emotional appeals and retardafuckery.

So no special tax breaks for corporations and the likes?

5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.

California wouldn't last a day without being able to make frivolous lawsuits against McDonald's and the likes. :lol:
 
I would totally agree with anyone that was against all redistribution of wealth, if all wealth was reset to zero. Otherwise, chances are they're rich and butthurt about taxes.
