Can you believe it? It’s been 20 years since the year 2000. 19 since George W. Bush decided to get the 21st Century off on the completely wrong foot, waging aggressive war in the name of liberty and self-government and discrediting both.

But I have to admit, back then I thought things would be much worse by now:

a broken economy, a lawless police state, the American people divided, hating each other instead of the corrupt power that oppresses them…

Okay, yeah, it’s pretty close to what I thought it would be, if in lesser degrees.

But then all this just raises the question: what’s the world going to be like in 2030?

What will America look like? Where will we be at war? Will we be at the height of a new economic bubble or suffering at the collapse of one?

How will we spend this new decade between now and then?

We’ve got big plans for the growth of the Institute and its influence.

We know we have your attention. Can we count on your support?

There are no billionaire brothers here. It’s you that makes the Institute what it is. It’s you that will help us to reach more people to show them that liberty is the solution to our problems if we’d just give it a chance.

Please do what you can, if you can, to help us get the new decade started in the strongest way possible. For freedom.

Happy New Year.

And thanks.
