Love it, /uPowderRoomPolitics!
Abolitionism, Voluntaryism, call it what you will -- a CIVIL SOCIETY is not and CAN NOT be based on violence and coercion.
The relatively small ember (compared to other nations) of coercion that the Constitution embedded in America grew into the forest fire of tyranny we are now living with.
Here's hoping we can eliminate that ember as we go forward.
Another resource for those concerned that actual FREEDOM isn't practical:
The Market for Liberty (free download) or buy from Amazon.
The civil service are the cause and benefactor of all that is wrong in modern society.
They have over decades, designed and implemented a system to steal from the productive citizens in order to enrich themselves.
The first stage in reversing this is to dismantle their “education” system which teaches citizens to respect and not question their authority.
Next step would be their “laws and regulations” which are mostly instruments of pre sanctioned theft.
The actual cost of TVs did not fall by 90%. Back in 2000 most of us were buying tube TVs for $400 while the brand new HDTVs were $3000. And how about TV service?
EDIT: the four different ways to spend money by Milton Friedman
1) You can spend your own money on yourself.
If you spend your own money on yourself, you're very careful on what you spend it on. You make sure you get the most for your dollar.
2) You can spend your own money on someone else.
When you spend your own money on someone else, you're careful on not spending too much. You don't worry as much about the gifts you buy for other people as the things you buy for yourself.
3) You can spend somebody else's money on yourself.
You're careful to get good things for the money. But you're not very worried about getting the best bang for your buck. You're happier to spend more of somebody else's money within reason.
4) You can spend somebody else's money on somebody else.
You become a “distributor of welfare funds.” You're interested in making your own life as good as you can. But you're not going to be anywhere near as careful as spending this money on other people.

“All lawful government authority is delegated, you know.
How much violence are you able to commit against your neighbor to force him to do what you want?”
A very logical, sound argument that doesn’t work. Not sure why, but it is what it is. Is there a better sales angle for these irrational fools?
What’s the emotional need they’re trying to meet or act out?
