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?

Why is America going broke?

America is in a severe financial crisis, no matter what some of these rah-rah bull market cheerleaders say. In this great article by Robert Murphy that appeared in The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty back in April, he writes about all the waste and corruption ("corporate welfare") in government.

Why is the government in the railroad business? AMTRAK loses millions every year. Who bails it out? You and me with our tax dollars. Why does the Small Business Administration lend money to giant corporations? Wasn't it created to help the "little guy?"

Hopefully the article will make you angry. There's only one person currently running for president who will step up and challenge Congress on this madness. Yes, that liberty loving Congressman from Texas, Ron Paul.
