Liberty Empowered Coverage of No War in Syria Rally: Tulsa

Liberty Empowered Coverage of No War in Syria Rally: Tulsa

“On Saturday of Labor Day weekend, while the majority of Americans were enjoying their time off drinking beer at the lake, a minority of Americans across the nation labored tirelessly for the cause of peace. Most major cities across the nation hosted a No War in Syria Rally, sporting picket signs and protesting American intervention in Syria’s civil war. Even on a worldwide scale, individuals showed their support for peace in record numbers.  Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a group of about 60 activists gathered together for their No War in Syria Rally: Tulsa, in 104 degree heat to 101st and Memorial to unanimously show opposition to America’s involvement in another country’s civil war.”

Tax Havens Are Crucial if We Want to Restrain Predatory Government

Posted on by

“Politicians have little incentive to control spending and reform programs if they think that higher taxes are an option.  So how do we control their appetite for more revenue? There’s no silver bullet solution, but part of the answer is that we need tax competition and tax havens. Politicians are less likely to over-tax and over-spend if they’re afraid that the geese that lay the golden eggs can fly across the border. In other words, tax competition is a necessary but not sufficient condition to promote good policy. And that’s why I’m willing to defend tax havens, even if it requires bringing a message of liberty to traditionally hostile audiences such as readers of the New York Times and viewers of CNN.”

Schneier: US gov. has betrayed the internet. We need to take it back

Posted on by

“Government and industry have betrayed the internet, and us.  By subverting the internet at every level to make it a vast, multi-layered and robust surveillance platform, the NSA has undermined a fundamental social contract. The companies that build and manage our internet infrastructure, the companies that create and sell us our hardware and software, or the companies that host our data: we can no longer trust them to be ethical internet stewards. This is not the internet the world needs, or the internet its creators envisioned. We need to take it back.  And by we, I mean the engineering community.”

Colorado Sheriff: ‘Should Be Able To Fire Representatives Who Ignore Constituents’

Posted on by

“When Breitbart News asked Maketa what he thought of the recall efforts, he said: ‘I firmly believe that if voters think their representatives are not representing their views fairly, then they ought to be able to fire them.’  ‘Constituents should be able to fire representatives who ignore constituents,’ Maketa stated. ‘Voters think the two senators currently being recalled dismissed their opinions–literally said they did not want to hear from them–and when a representative shows that kind of arrogance, that kind of tyranny, the people ought to be able to fire them.'”

Decentralize to Neutralize Turmoil in Middle East

Posted on by

“The international community—which includes many multi-tribal, ethnic, racial, or sectarian states—frowns on solutions that formally or implicitly break up states. Many have their own minorities that might be encouraged to break away. Thus, arguments are used that it’s a form of apartheid or that boundaries cannot be drawn exactly and will always leave some unfortunate souls on the other side of the line. In South Africa, apartheid was forced separation using armed might of a minority against a majority. In Iraq and Libya, such decentralized governance would have to be voluntary and would reflect existing ethno-sectarian or tribal areas, respectively.”

Poll: Majority Of Americans Approve Of Sending Congress To Syria

Posted on by

“As President Obama continues to push for a plan of limited military intervention in Syria, a New York Times/CBS News poll showed that though just 1 in 4 Americans believe that the United States has a responsibility to intervene in the Syrian conflict, more than 90 percent of the public is convinced that putting all 535 representatives of the United States Congress on the ground in Syria—including Senate pro tempore Patrick Leahy, House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and, in fact, all current members of the House and Senate—is the best course of action at this time.”

It’s Jury Appreciation Day!

Posted on by

“Although the right to a jury trial is guaranteed by the American Constitution, it has been under a relentless attack over the years.  Most Americans are unaware that 95 percent of the cases in our criminal justice system never go to trial.  And, in the few cases that do go to trial, jurors are typically misled about their prerogative to acquit (“jury nullification”).  In November, Cato will be re-releasing an e-book, Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine, by Clay Conrad.  Glenn Reynolds reviewed the initial publication here. Let me take this opportunity to report on several positive developments that will help to revive the doctrine of jury nullification in American law.”

Pennsylvania man pays $7,143 school tax bill in $1 bills

Pennsylvania man pays $7,143 school tax bill in $1 bills

“Fed up with having to pay $7,143 in school taxes for a district his children don’t attend, a Forks Township man paid that portion of his tax bill last week in single dollar bills.  And it’s all on YouTube.   ‘We don’t even use the public system, yet I am being forced to pay all this money into a public school system,’ he said. ‘I don’t think that’s really either fair or just or even ethical.  It would be the equivalent if McDonald’s were to force vegetarians to pay for their cheeseburgers.'”

California Gold Rush county votes to secede and form state of ‘Jefferson’

Posted on by

“Leaders of a rural Northern California county are inviting communities in both California and Oregon to join them after voting on Tuesday to pursue seceding from the state.  The Redding Record Searchlight reported that the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors approved a plan to form their own state, ‘Jefferson,’ in a 4-1 vote, citing a lack of representation at the state level and complaints about a $150 fire prevention fee for homeowners in smaller counties like Siskiyou.  More than 100 residents reportedly packed the meeting, most of them supporting the decision.  At least one neighboring county, Humboldt County, is considering a similar plan.”
