Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 30, 2009

Government is a form of participatory larceny in which the wealth created through the honest exertions of the productive is taken by force and redistributed according to the whims of the ruling elite.

This is underscored by a proposal from Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in his 2010 municipal budget, which includes a ?Tax Whistleblower Program? designed to entice Chicago residents into becoming paid informants.

The Chicago Sun-Times notes that the program ?is expected to include cash bounties for informants who deliver the goods on unpaid business taxes. The cash reward would be a percentage of the amount recovered [.]?

A similar informant program was started in Newark, New Jersey under Mayor Corey Booker: Citizens were offered $1,000 in exchange for anonymous tips that resulted in police seizure of firearms. The victim of the seizure need not be charged with or convicted of a crime.

As Albert Jay Nock observed, government doesn?t seek to abolish crime ? it seeks a monopoly on crime.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
