This fellow, Stefan Molyneux, has something to say about the institutions that people tend to enslave themselves with. It makes a lot of sense. People have always found a way somehow to take other peoples capital, be it monetary or intellectual, from the obvious smash and grab to some not so obvious psychological cons and everything in between. One of the most insidious ways is through the government which we insist we must have to provide for us. The problem comes in when we find a way to vote ourselves benefits from the public coffers. What people tend to forget or perhaps purposefully ignore is that the government cannot give anyone anything it has not first taken from someone else at the point of a gun in the guise of the IRS. That enslaves both those who work for and earn the money which is taken and those who take that money, who then find themselves unable or unwilling to do anything other than continue to vote for those who will continue to take money from those who earn it and give to those who don't. The FairTax is the beginning of a solution to this problem.
