Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 29, 2009

Like many others caught in the undertow of the ongoing economic collapse, Las Vegas resident Delinda Epstein has lost nearly everything. Her well-paying job with a construction company disappeared when the Vegas real estate market went bust. Her truck was repossessed, and she was compelled to move into a tiny apartment in a bad part of town.

Delinda posted an ad on Craig?s List offering various services ? including transportation. Her first customer soon called ? a man called Richie who needed a ride from the airport.

After Delinda picked him up and negotiated a fee, ?Richie? proved to be an undercover agent of the Transportation Authority. Delinda was hit with a $3,800 fine for offering transportation services without a license. That fine was reduced to $250, but her car was seized and impounded. And now the TA wants to seize her cell phone, as well.

At every level, and wherever it is found, government is a viciously predatory parasite.

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