How Government Solved the Health Care Crisis!

by Keith Knight | Aug 15, 2021 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/Yv3bKr_Rgiw ... our very real medical crisis has been the product of massive government intervention, state and federal, throughout the century; in particular, an artificial boosting of demand coupled with an artificial restriction of supply. The result has been accelerating high prices and deterioration of patient care. And next, socialized medicine could easily bring us to the vaunted medical status of the Soviet Union: everyone has the right to free medical care, but there is, in effect, no medicine and no care. Murray N. Rothbard Making Economic Sense, p. 77 Roderick T....

Churchill’s Machiavellian Move That Made Him Prime Minister

by Keith Knight | Aug 11, 2021 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/9wHMK1BrWug In war, State power is pushed to its ultimate, and, under the slogans of “defense” and “emergency,” it can impose a tyranny upon the public such as might be openly resisted in time of peace. War thus provides many benefits to a State, and indeed every modern war has brought to the warring peoples a permanent legacy of increased State burdens upon society. Murray N. Rothbard Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature, pp. 80–81 Citations: 1. Human Smoke by Nicholson Baker (2009) 2. The Gathering Storm by Winston Churchill (1948) 3. Churchill, Hitler, and the...

https://youtu.be/ifEMOxdEj3Q ... coercion benefits one party only at the expense of others. Coerced exchange is a system of exploitation of man by man, in contrast to the free market, which is a system of cooperative exchanges in the exploitation of nature alone.... coercion leads only to further problems: it is inefficient and chaotic, it cripples production, and it leads to cumulative and unforeseen difficulties. Seemingly orderly, coercion is not only exploitative; it is also profoundly disorderly....coercion and government intervention lead inexorably to hegemony, conflict, exploitation...

Economics Professor DEBUNKS Arguments for Taxation!

by Keith Knight | Aug 5, 2021 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/2FAIuJcX82A The ruling class is whichever group has managed to seize state power; the ruled are those groups who are taxed and regulated by those in command. Class interest, then, is defined as a group’s relation to the state. State rule, with its taxation and exercise of power, controls, and conferring of subsidies and privileges, is the instrument that creates conflicts between the rulers and the ruled. What we have, then, is a “two-class” theory of class conflict, based on whether a group rules or is ruled by the state. On the free market, on the other hand, there is no...

Debunking the Official WWII Narrative. David Swanson & Keith Knight

by Keith Knight | Aug 3, 2021 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/rvti8k793W8 ... the libertarian stands foursquare for what are generally known as “civil liberties”: the freedom to speak, publish, assemble, and to engage in such “victimless crimes” as pornography, sexual deviation, and prostitution (which the libertarian does not regard as “crimes” at all, since he defines a “crime” as violent invasion of someone else’s person or property). Furthermore, he regards conscription as slavery on a massive scale. And since war, especially modern war, entails the mass slaughter of civilians, the libertarian regards such conflicts as mass murder...
