where there is government, there is slavery

Capitalism has saved children from child labour. The engineering and industrial innovations that prevented that comes from competition and greed from a profit motive, not from government bureaucracies.

Civilization and its discontents. Society, politics and morality all revolve around one central value - power. It can be power over yourself (self-mastery) or power over others. In fact, sometimes having power over yourself requires that you have power over others. Civilization is in a constant state of change due to power relations. The lack of a state will only create a power vacuum that will eventually be filled.

@amagilly Government grows by our wickedness. Wickedness -- evil doing -- creates slavery.

@chrispollock No, ultimately it is Capitalism which has saved children from labour. For most of human history, children have worked. In most parts of the world (the countries which haven't had Capitalism, or at least haven't had it for very long), this continues.

@warriorprince1010 VERY True, and We have not seen Capitalism. We have only seen Corporatism.

Government subsidized, earmarked, bailed out, and sent over seas Corporatism.

RON Paul Treads on Government...

If America did the Same its Situation today would be UPSIDE DOWN.

We will get their.

We not anti Union...we are the Union.

People need to question what keeps a unions strength...its the right spirit.

Which is why the Founders even bothered to escape Tyranny...they did not have to, they could have sat around and scratched their asses all day in Apathy...but I suppose they did not want to waste a short life, and truly knew the possibility's that man can over come.

wtf??? I was expecting 'History of Tranny'!

[warriorprince1010]

Tyranny, centralized power, government planned economies have never achieved anything. Only education and a capitalism has allowed for people to achieve.

@thedrunkshaman because people are uneducated

[thedrunkshaman]

Ron Paul is the politician that most closely represents Milton Friedman. So why does he lack so much support?

[Capnwabbit]

@yenamarre100 Go the the Mises instute site, search the multimedia stuff for an audio presentation. There's a brilliant, detailed explanation there that will clear your thinking on this.

The real reason for the laws was because factories were working on Sundays (religion) and because some of the upper class were horrified that the lower class were earning real money.
