When Goods Do Not Cross Borders, Soldiers

It Is Easy To Understand Why The Law Is Used By The Legislator To Destroy In Varying Degrees Among The Rest Of The People, Their Personal Independence By Slavery, Their Liberty By Oppression, And Their Property By Plunder. This Is Done For The Benefit Of The Person Who Makes The Law, And In Proportion To The Power That He Holds.

The Mind Never Fully Accepts Any Convictions That It Does Not Owe To Its Own Efforts.

But How Is This Legal Plunder To Be Identified? Quite Simply. See If The Law Takes From Some Persons What Belongs To Them And Gives It To Other Persons To Whom It Does Not Belong. See If The Law Benefits One Citizen At The Expense Of Another By Doing What The Citizen Himself Cannot Do Without Committing A Crime.

If Philanthropy Is Not Voluntary, It Destroys Liberty And Justice. The Law Can Give Nothing That Has Not First Been Taken From Its Owner.

And This Is What Has Taken Place. The Delusion Of The Day Is To Enrich All Classes At The Expense Of Each Other; It Is To Generalize Plunder Under Pretense Of Organizing It.
