"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others."

"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

Ayn Rand

Rand put it best in her 1973 article, “Censorship: Local and Express”:

“The conservatives see man as a body freely roaming the earth, building sand piles or factories -- with an electronic computer inside his skull, controlled from Washington . The liberals [the Democrats] see man as a soul freewheeling to the farthest reaches of the universe -- but wearing chains from nose to toes when he crosses the street to buy a loaf of bread.”

Further on, she notes:
“…Each camp wants to control the realm it regards as metaphysically important; each grants freedom only to the activities it despises….. ‘Control,‘ to both camps, means the power to rule by physical force. The conservatives want to rule man’s consciousness; the liberals, his body.”

Think About It

I know the general public has a knee-jerk reaction to immigrants these days. They are all usually lumped together, legal and illegal, productive and criminal. But please read the following and think about our past. We have always welcomed and prospered most when we've been the freest and most opened. Rather than drain our economy in another government ponzi scheme, why not allow even more people who are willing to come here to work and contribute to our growth. If we shut the door, the rest of the world will pass us by. What other country has people waiting in lines and being turned away? If you want to be mad, get mad at Washington for putting us into this position.
