I've always wondered who runs this country. Those elected or those appointed.

Jefferson was right to be against a "National Bank!" He would be shocked to see a Federal Reserve system!

The Rothschilds were driven from Germany and pushed out of France. Now it's our turn.

Herbert Spencer, the "Father of Sociology" did say to "leave society alone-it will find it's own way." Will someone inform our social engineers in DC about this!

Yes Jim, i see it the same way as you do! And yes Mike, we are already there!

We need to pay close attention to European laws as we seem to follow them so closely. Maybe Ronald Regan's biggest goof was putting Sandra Day O'Conner on the Supreme Court. Remember her statement, "We need to be more llike Europe in our laws!"

Hamilton did not like the idea of statehood. He would have done away with the states. Well, it seems today that he has almost had his wish. Big Brother in Washington has almost reserved all power for himself especially through the federal courts. The United States does not seem like a fit title for our nation anymore. In truth it should be called just what it has become-"The Federal Democratic-Republic of America!"

When we forget the lessons of history-it does have a way of repeating itself!

Chilon was never a CEO who had to face his stockholders over that "honest" loss; however, i still feel he is right!

Also, one who lives in a glass house should never throw stones. The administration in Washington is as such.

Waffler, don't you remember the common store-house method of Jamestown, Va.? Socialism only works if you have someone like Captian John Smith to force you to labor for what you take from the common store-house. I'd rather work to fill my own store-house thank you!

So true Justin for we are suffering now because of the wishes of others last November.

You're so right jim k. With what we have for a majority in Washington it seems many did not think before they chose!

I agree with J Carlton also. What was Von Mises drinking when he wrote this?

I feel the right to bear arms has slowed our government from overstepping on us any farther than they have. They will be required to take our weapons to step much farther!

Their idea of commune living rather than our nuclear family style!

We are still suffering from his idea of a national bank!

Presidents should uphold the constitution and forget the Supreme Court's liberal interpetations of it.

Well said Jim. Remember how compassionate Jimmy Carter was while using other people's money.

Self preservation is what built this nation as Adam Smith would have it. There is no better way!

True and well said Archer!

I just wish those others would stay home and change their countries instead of coming here and changing ours!

Well said Mike, I can see why Jefferson and Hamilton became bitter enemies!

Thank you Archer-it's much clearer now

An excuse not to add the New Testment to the Talmud!
