In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

End all foreign aid

Some of your taxpayer dollars are given to other countries by the U.S. government. It is a foolish practice, and history shows that all sorts of distortions and shenigans occur when money is transferred from one government to another.

Walter Block, an economist and professor at Loyola in New Orleans, writes a nice article on why the practice should stop. Block, who is Jewish, states that giving money to Israel harms Israel. He says that Jewish leaders in American need not worry if American taxpayer dollars don't reach Israel. The article appeared today on lewrockwell.com.
