Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money.
The effect of paper money
But if in the pursuit of the means we should unfortunately stumble again on unfunded paper money or any similar species of fraud, we shall assuredly give a fatal stab to our national credit in its infancy. Paper money will invariably operate in the body of politics as spirit liquors on the human body. They prey on the vitals and ultimately destroy them. Paper money has had the effect in your state that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.
Liable to abuse
Paper money is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.

So much of the left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire, by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

Choose freedom
While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.
Envy by another name
Envy was once considered to be one of the seven deadly sins before it became one of the most admired virtues under its new name, ‘social justice.’
The Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights does not grant rights to the people, such that its repeal would legitimately confer upon government the powers otherwise proscribed. The Bill of Rights is the list of the fundamental, inalienable rights, endowed in man by his Creator, that define what it means to be a free and independent people, the rights which must exist to ensure that government governs only with the consent of the people.
